2 “The Royal Game”
Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig wrote “The Royal Game” in 1941, and published it as the centerpiece of a short story collection. All five stories are brilliant explorations of psychological extremes, from romantic obsession to madness, as befits a writer who moved in the same Viennese cultural circles as Sigmund Freud. The title novella’s Nazi-era tale of an imaginary chess game played for survival is haunting.3 “The Eight”

4 “The Flanders Panel”
A chess board in a 15th-century Flemish painting holds the key to a 500-year-old murder in this 1994 thriller by Spanish author Arturo Perez-Reverte. It isn’t just one centuries-old murder, either. When an art restorer discovers a strange inscription — “Who killed the knight?” — in a corner of the painting, it sets off a slew of modern-day murders, as well, in this heady literary mix of chess, art and mystery.
