Though the plot is as predictable to the adult palate as chocolate ice cream, the story of Beth Harmon's exploitation of her own chess talent is interesting enough. At eight, she is mesmerized by the playing board of the janitor at the orphanage as he works out openings and combinations by himself. From this inauspicious beginning that in- cludes an institution-instilled addiction to tranquilizers and a long, forced ab- stinance from her beloved game, Beth wins enough championships to get into the gruelling combat in Moscow. quoting the best board manuevers of the greats. This clear, sparse book translates chess into a sport exciting even to an indifferent layman, but it hasn't the jaded panache of Walter Tevis' earlier book about poolroom gambles, The "ustler, nor does it offer Imaginative plot equal to the intergalactic, high Iech affair of The Man Who Fell To Earth. While it tautly plays out a virtuous tryst developing between Beth Harmon, or- phan and prodigy, and the "Brainy" wins of chess, the book's basic flaw is a major one: character juvenility. Beth is too nistrustful and isolated to in- teract with other characters to make a humanly complex novel, but hers is a highly attuned ear at the heartbeat of chess, and that pulse is the best of the book. Chess masters use beautifully con- strued, aggressive board strategy. It's not hard to want players to duplicate these wily intricacies in their lives. Well, in the next inlstallment perhaps. Tevis focuses her on defenses, en- dgames, checkmates, material balan- ce, variations, forks, gambits. Chess begins to complement itself as Tevis describes vivid board marathons, gracefully breaking apart openings resonant with intelligence, then skip- ping 13 moves to focus on a dense moment revelatory of character and convoluted planning. While those knowing chess enjoy Beth against her competitors, neophytes are driven by the action to the bookshelf to look up combinations. The Sicilian is Beth's favorite opening, and also that of the great liussian world Champion Borgov whom she is destined by talent and will to con- test. This choice of opening tells: the Sicilian is a complex,. risky, enter- prising way that only a tough cookie seeking total war brings out against a highly skilled antagonist. Thie Queen's Gambit is here, both Ac- cepted and Declined, offered between experts, with the opponent given material in exchange for control of the board's center, a powerful, desirable position. These gambits lead to fireworks of talent displayed. To know the book's people, read the profiles of their preferred combinations. There's better chess here than human drama, Talent encouraged wins out in this moral txxk. Not even in her adop- ted mother's death, not in liquor, in pills, in of-the-moment romances, will Beth lose her way forever. Beth has such obvious personal strengths that success or failure in the distractions she explores is never an issue. Interests other than chess are minimal: One qf- ternoon when tf/t had spent three or four hours on endgame ana/)vsis she' said wearilv, "Don't vOu get hored sonetimres?" and he looked at her hlankl/. "What else is there?" But your kid cousin chess af- ficionado will take to Beth's testing the vicissitudes of reared effort, of being a natural competitor, of friendship in a highly-strung world. Tevis, writing for drama, rightly in- vents a female protagonist. In real life, only a few females, such as Vera Men- chik, have placed famously in the chess world which often speaks, smugly, of the mystery of male dominion. Male female combat is a keenly felt promise, but Tevis' players ignore the weapon of r i A; I :,. _- _. "_ 4 _ A L Queen's Gal a tradition of 11 is dlisappointih could apprecia txard.
