Ebook Deal of Day: £1.02 “In Pieces” by Robert Peake

Genre: Poetry

Much more than a paean to the “game of kings”, this collection of poems explores the human side of chess, sweeping up war, death and aging as well as Sudoku, Las Vegas tournaments and nice cups of tea. It includes a close look at the characterful expressions and imagined inner lives of one of the most famous chess sets in history, The Lewis Chessmen of Scotland.
