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 Women chess players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chess $x Tournaments $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Orphans $z Kentucky $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Competition (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fear $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Drug addiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430217 650 7 $a Competition (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871488 650 7 $a Chess $x Tournaments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853801 650 7 $a Chess players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853811 650 7 $a Orphans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01048433 650 7 $a Fear. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922034 650 7 $a Chess. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00853777 650 7 $a Women chess players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177394 651 7 $a Kentucky. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204494 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 655 4 $a Psychological fiction. 655 4 $a Suspense fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726755 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/2003267976.html 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random055/2003267976.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/random047/2003267976.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210823131013.0 $n 18 $p 1 CD BOOK 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72D8341601EE11EC92E63B9E153FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
