Grandmaster by David Klass




Grandmaster is a book about Daniel Pratzer, who is on his school chess club and is one of the worst, most inexperienced players.  So when they have a father-son chess tournament, Daniel is confused on why he and and his father were chosen.  Daniel's father turned out to be a grandmaster, or highest ranking player, when he was younger.  He quit the game for his sanity.  Will he be able to face the demons and the old enemy?  Find out in this exciting book about chess.

Grandmaster is suspenseful in how the game will end and has many plot twists that could surprise you.  I found that you might need to like or understand chess to fully get the concept of the book.  It was very well written and descriptive without boring the reader.  I would recommend this to friends if they were a fan of chess.
