"Really interesting story. The fact that it was the writer's last work before committing suicide makes a lot of sense. Reminds me of Black Swan, but for chess players...a warning that excellence often requires obsession, and always comes at a price. " — Robin (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good read, one could read it in a few hours. "
" Wonderful story, although it is somewhat simple. The only problem I encountered while reading this, was the original language (German), which is not one I am particulary good at. "
" A swift, haunting, beautiful tale. I hope Zweig's reappearance thanks to NYRB is noted. (Beware of Pity was quite good, too, though a much larger time commitment.) "
" Enjoyable, short and well written book about...a chess match! "
" Really well done, and easy to knock off in an hour on a Sunday. "
" could have been longer. very well written, though the middle dragged. dragging was not for the sake of writing, but rather that the subject was individual for too long. look forward to reading more zweig in the future. "
" The Royal Game = 5 stars Amok = 4 stars The Burning Secret = 4 stars Fear = 5 stars Letter from an Unknown Woman = 4.5 stars ;) "
" My first book by Stefan Zweig, a novella. Nice wrting style and a good short story, especially if you ever played chess. "
" Ein Klassiker. Schön erzählte Geschichte über verschiedene Menschen, die jeweils ihren eigenen, besonderen Zugang zum Schach haben. "
