At eight years old, she is placed in an orphanage in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, where the children are given tranquilizers twice a day. Plain and shy, she learns to play chess from the janitor in the basement and discovers she is a chess genius. Penniless and desperate to learn more, she steals a chess magazine and enough money to enter a chess tournament. She also steals some of her foster mother's tranquilizers to which she is becoming addicted. At thirteen she wins the Chess Tournament. By the age of sixteen she is competing in the U.S. Open Championship and, like Fast Eddie, she hates to lose. By eighteen she is the U.S. Champion. Then she goes to Russia to face the Russians. 650 0 $a Chess players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fear $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kentucky $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Landon, Amy, $e narrator. 941 $a 9 945 $a cdab 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040426.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022247.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20220607011954.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20220401020326.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20211028021718.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20210702015313.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210622010707.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20210527010726.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210427011957.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C6DCECCA71E11EBB7E268FB48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
