Inspired by both Daniel Defoe's 'A Journal of the Plague Year'
(1722) and 'The King', an anthology of the witty and provocative
chess columns of the Dutch Grandmaster, Jan Hein Donner, Ray Keene
here collects his thoughts and writings on the year 2020 - both in
chess and the wider world. His reflections include the impact of
Covid-19 on the popularity of chess, the remarkable influence of
the Netflix series 'The Queen's Gambit', the growing army of
teenage Grandmasters, the online pivot of chess competition and the
emergence of chess entrepreneurs, such as World Champion Magnus
Carlsen and Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura.. Like Donner, Ray uses
chess as a metaphor for observations on art, culture and
civilisation.
