Summary

"A tense examination of early Cold War anxieties, examined through the famous chess match between Spanish Arturito Pomar and American Bobby Fischer. The Pawn shuttles between the United States, Spain, the Soviet Union, and beyond, tracking the lives of Pomar and Fischer. Using the two chess masters's professional trajectories, Cerdà expertly examines the geopolitical anxieties of the world in the 1960's. For fans of Netflix's The Queen's Gambit, The Pawn explores the contentious shadow layers between game and politic, match and war, a pawn and a political tool"-- Provided by publisher.
