Krátky popis
Educated meets The Queen's Gambit in this extraordinary memoir by
International Master and Chess.com co-founder Danny Rensch, who
describes his upbringing in an abusive cult - and how chess ended
up saving his lifeBorn into the Church of Immortal Consciousness,
Danny Rensch spent his childhood navigating the isolated confines
of a cult. Despite psychological manipulation, physical abuse, and
neglect, he persevered. An international chess master and
world-class commentator, Rensch's remarkable journey led him to
being the face of Chess.com, one of the largest online gaming
platforms in the world.With unflinching honesty, Rensch recounts
his life, starting from the moment he discovered chess in the
summer of 1995, all the way up to being at the center of the most
explosive cheating scandal in chess history. He chronicles the
traumas of being ",special", in a cult that forced separation from
his mother. Mentored by an alcoholic, Russian chess master, he
found solace alongside suffering in his obsession for an ancient
game, and chess became his only escape.Rensch rose through the
chess ranks until a medical emergency nearly took him out of the
game forever. And it almost did, until Chess.com came along. Deeply
heartfelt, keenly reflective, and haunting, Dark Squares is the
never-before-told story of Danny Rensch's resilience, survival, and
his enduring love for the game that saved him.
