Read this wayyyyy back in the 80s and loved it, like all his books. The only thing I really remember about it was the MC conned two pro chess players when she agreed to play them both at the same time but in different rooms of a cruise ship. She'd take the move from one game, cross the ship to other game, play the move and then use that counter move back at the first game. My little teeny-bopper mind 🤯

From a favorite paranormal series for #NatChessDay
In Book 4 of the Sam Quinn series (tagged), Sam finds a magical chess set in an antique store on her honeymoon in the U.K. with pieces with the appearances of fae she encounters. In the spin-off series (the first book is pictured), we meet Arwyn, the sea wicche artist who created it.♟️✨
+6 #Scarathlon points for Team #SpookyGhostClub 👻🖤
Lol, I missed the “Sweater“ challenge and this has a boring edition that would have been perfect. But I'd rather use it for #NatChessDay anyway. Think of chess and I think of this fantastic mystery and romance, and shed a small tear.

#AutumnPlease #Day14 #NatChessDay I read this one years ago, in the 90s I think. It‘s about a legendary chess set presented to Emperor Charlemagne by eight Moors, made of of silver & gold & studded with rubies, emeralds, diamonds & sapphires. #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts
“The Rook“ by Daniel O'Malley is my pick for #NatChessDay. #Nat.ChessDay #autumnplease @eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #scarathlon
