Reviews of "King's Gambit"

Paul Hoffman's new book King's Gambit has received favorable reviews, not only in Entertainment Weekly, People Magazine, and Newsday, but in The New York Times as well.

I particularly enjoyed reading the excerpt on Kasparov's simultaneous exhibition game against Nelson Farber because I just played Farber this past Sunday at the Marshall Chess Club. It was a 70-move marathon. First I stood better. Then Farber missed a win. I reciprocated by missing a win of my own. Finally the game ended in a draw.
