“Lately, it has been hard not to feel a little cynical, or even nihilistic, about the prospects of human beings in the age of A.I. Why play chess, if a computer always wins?” Louisa Thomas writes. “The beauty of chess goes beyond logic; it includes desires, ideas, and feelings. That is the game’s difficulty, too.” Read more about the new age of chess. https://t.co/EZJhPqQ0sk

Thank you @prempanicker and thank you Sharda Ugra and @htTweets for this kind review. Interregnum is out April 21.

[Prem Panicker @prempanicker]

Sharda Ugra reviews a new book by @JordanHimelfarb on a sport in flux. "Interregnum" tracks the post-Magnus Carlsen era: prodigies rising, egos clashing, formats evolving, and the uneasy search for a “real” champion. Judging by the review, this is a portrait of a game redefining itself. (Memo to self: Acquire, read) https://t.co/VoCnr5vEkZ
