The Life of a Female Chess Player

This book lies somewhere between the Searching for Bobby Fischer and Victor Korcnoi's Persona non Grata. But is much closer to the first. The book can be read as a novel, and if done properly, could make a very nice movie; which I think would be inspiring to many, but especially, to female players. The book includes games and key positions that can can be analyzed by the serious chess player. The back section of the book includes a set of photos (I counted 100) that are essentially a nice time capsule from Maria's life [many are in color]. There is a color photo of Karpov relaxing at the chess board, shirt off and a drink to his right. The photos from the 1960s are quite interesting in regard to fashion and an era gone by.
