A father discovers his son is a chess prodigy and follows him into a highly competitive world of tutors and youth tournaments. Waitzkin brilliantly balances his love for chess with concern for his son and other youngsters who go through a rigorous training akin to East German Olympic youth prospects. To become a master, do you risk turning your child into mad Bobby?

The author describes his six-year-old son's emergence as a chess prodigy.

This was made into a fantastic movie.

"A touching story of a father and son . . . You don't have to know the game to enjoy every page." --Cleveland Amory
