The story focuses on Ron, who is not my typical cuppa, and chess, which bores me to tears. I’ll admit to a particular fondness for stories that draw me in despite the fact they aren’t my usual ‘type’ and this story does just that. Of course, you will find plenty of (well written) Snape, which is why I gave the story a chance in the first place. I’m very glad I did.
The premise is a ‘chess championship’. The school winners (both a faculty winner and a student winner) go on to represent the school at an international competition. There are plenty of little details (such as each character’s style of chess set) that help flesh out the characterizations, and the author brings in a number of less focused on characters during the school playoffs. The use of chess was a really nifty way of delving into the personalities involved and the story itself simply flows. Once we get to the international level, there’s even a dose of Death Eater action, and Snape really gets to shine. A great little read that I just stumbled upon and was very glad I did.
