Reviews for Duchamp Versus Einstein

Duchamp Versus Einstein is a marvellously crafted amalgam of art, science and chess, surely no easy task. The tale weaves 20th-century history together with the thread of present-day human predicament. It's your move. A luminous game of chess between art and science that is played across the page with lethal precision. Deeply engaging, and cleverly weaves history and chess into a thought provoking tale! A thought-provoking read, and at the same time an expansion of chess endgame theory! Only Einstein could save an endgame with just a king against king and queen!
