Hitting a major snag with this one. After a strong first half, it's dipping too far into the fantastic for my taste. Reminds me of my deflating experience with Barker's Weaveworld.

I really like the structure of this book: part history, part tutorial, part memoir, part cultural criticism--all with a commentary of one of the most famous chess matches interspersed.
