@DimaNovak722 Yes I forgot to write that he seems to have enjoyed them as much as me. Thanks for the update and good luck with the writing!

[Fabrice Caline @FabriceCaline]

Very glad to just hear from one of my nephews that he's read both books.
Any news on the third volume @DimaNovak722?

[Dima Novak @DimaNovak722]

@FabriceCaline I hope he enjoyed the books! Very little progress lately on volume three, but I was inspired last week when the Italian women's chess champion visited our town and conducted a simul. I'll redouble my efforts in the new year.

Upoznajte Mozesa Midltona, srednjoškolca iz urbanog područja Kvinsa koji vidi šah kao svoju kartu za beg iz prosečnosti. Ali nakon što sve pođe po zlu na turniru, stvari postaju još zanimljivije. Pod mentorstvom Viktora, ekscentričnog ruskog velemajstora, Mozes i njegov raznoliki tim spremni su osvojiti svet školskog šaha u Njujorku. Upoznaćete harizmatičnog P.D. Moralesa, talentovanu violinistkinju i mačevalku Esther Toussaint, stidljivu obožavateljku animea Maggie Wang. Ali, nevolje vrebaju na svakom koraku: od nasilnika iz susedstva, osvetoljubivog pomoćnog direktora do nadmenih bogataša, a najgore od svega, seksualnog predatora koji može uništiti život mlade žene i novostečeno jedinstvo tima. Ako ste fan "The Queen's Gambit", ne propustite ovu YA majstoriju koja kombinuje humor, dramu i društveni uvid.

Prvi deo duologije.

U borbi za svoj komšiluk i zajednicu, naši junaci suprotstavljaju se moćnim neprijateljima, prolaze kroz besane noći, riskiraju sve zbog pravde, dok se istovremeno zapliću u vrtlog ljubavnih drama i neočekivanih saveza. Srčan i duhovit – ovaj roman za mlade je poziv na pobunu koju ćete pamtiti!

„Mislim da je prekasno za to", rekao sam. „Nadležni su, ko god oni bili, nabacili ovo na nas bez upozorenja i sravniće stolove sa zemljom prvog dana oktobra - ako uopšte budu mogli da se strpe do tad. Moj instinkt mi kaže da je neprijatelj spreman kao zapeta puška."
Malika je klimnula glavom. „Mouzes je skoro sigurno u pravu. Volela bih da mogu da kažem da je ovo izuzetak, ali u posednje vreme, izuzetak je pravilo. Gradska uprava radi šta želi i usput se ruga. Dok uspete da uložite nekakvu žalbu - koju bi u svakom slučaju ignorisali — stolovi bi već nestali i sve bi bilo nevažno. Morate da reagujete."

Speaking as a member of the chess playing community, I feel I can say that chess players, in general, are massive nerds. So I will skip the skinny, low rise jeans that can be paired with things such as lambskin double riders, suede trucker jackets, and a rebel rock aesthetic.

Boris Spassky origin story, as recounted in my YA novel "Queenside."

[Dima Novak @DimaNovak722]

"If only I knew what was going to happen to our country, I would have joined the Communist Party." RIP

[International Chess Federation @FIDE_chess]

RIP Boris Vasilievich Spassky

One of the most talented players of his generation, the 10th World Champion Boris Spassky has passed away at the age of 88.

Spassky was considered a chess prodigy. He attained the Grandmaster title at the age of 18 and made his debut in the Candidates Tournament (Amsterdam, 1956) at 19.

After defeating Keres (1965), Geller (1965), and Tal (1965) in Candidates matches, he earned the right to challenge Petrosian but lost the title match (Moscow, 1966). Spassky made it all the way up again in the next cycle and won the crown in his second match against the ninth world champion.

Spassky played seven times for the Soviet Olympiad team (1962–1978). In 1976, Spassky immigrated to France; he competed for France in three more Olympiads (1984–1988).

*Queenside*, the award-winning sequel to *Pushing Pawns*, is now available in Serbian. Svetozar Gligorić would have kvelled. https://t.co/oLtOvvSc6t

At least now Serbian comrades can gift their own kids the Serbian translation!

If only I knew sooner….
