SOLVED. Fiction. Girl gives up chess for man. Possibly set in Middle East. [s]

[Ulrike]

2010-2015 probably. Read by my daughter who swears I told her to read it, and I have no idea what she's talking about.

Scene: she looks down at her (naked?) self and realizes chess is a man's sport. She describes her breasts.

Scene: man is no longer attracted to his favorite concubine because the chess player is more exciting.

Scene: they're playing chess. There's a line about how he could think 30 moves ahead, but she could think 50 moves ahead.

MC might have had sisters who encouraged her to get married.

According to my library checkout history, we did check that book out in December 2011! Thank you!

Yes! Thanks!

P.S. My daughter was shocked at how fast you solved it.

Lol, no problem. It’s a great book

[Kris]

Great. Glad Audrey was able to find your book.
