King's Gambit: A Son, a Father, and the World's Most Dangerous Game
As a child, Paul Hoffman lost himself in chess. The award-winning author of the international
bestseller The Man Who Loved Only Numbers played to escape the dissolution of his
parents' marriage, happily passing weekends with his brilliant bohemian father in New York's
Greenwich Village, the epicenter of American chess. But he soon learned that such single-minded
focus came at a steep price, as the pressure of competition drove him to the edge of madness.
