Description:

For most people, a chessboard was nothing more than sixty-four black-and-white squares. For young Vishy, it was a living, magical world — one where knights leapt, bishops glided across the board, pawns transformed, and queens moved with dazzling cunning. His mother, Amma, was his first and fiercest opponent, and every game between them became a thrilling contest of wits and imagination. Could Vishy out-think Amma and discover the move that would win the match? And might these childhood battles at home be quietly shaping him for the grandest chess arenas the world had to offer? Part of the Magic Makers series, this warm, beautifully illustrated picture-book biography introduces young readers to the early days of one of India's greatest chess champions, celebrating curiosity, perseverance, and the boundless power of a creative mind.
