| | Chess prodigy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Chess is one of the few sports where children can compete with adults on equal ground; it is thus one of the few skills in which true child prodigies exist. | | | Chess prodigies are children who play chess so well that they are able to beat Masters and even Grandmasters, often at a very young age. | | | Recently, there has been a tendency for chess players to gain the International Grandmaster title earlier and earlier in their lives. |

| | The Queen's Gambit - Walter Tevis |
| | A chess player needs to have something of a monomania for the game to play it really well; to play at grandmaster level, monomania is an inadequate term. | | | The Queen's Gambit is not a history of fictional games, but a novel of a young chess player, with a number of her games and tournaments discussed in more or less detail as the plot requires. | | | Some are mysteries where murder is committed during a game, or fantasies where the pieces have personalities, even a few where plot and characters painstakingly correspond to the moves and pieces of an entire game describable in chess notation. |
