Sasha Chapin is a victim of chess. Like countless amateurs before him - Albert Einstein, Humphrey Bogart, Marcel Duchamp - the game has consumed his life and his mind. First captivated by it as a member of his high school chess club, his passion was rekindled during an accidental encounter with chess hustlers on the streets of Kathmandu. In its aftermath, he forgot how to care about anything else. He played at all hours, for weeks at a time. Like a spurned lover, he tried to move on, but he found the game more seductive the more he resisted it.

The story was mildly interesting. I do, however, believe it would have been a better read compared to listening to it on Audible. Author comes across as whiny and insecure while reading his story. Seemed to get lazy in his writing near the end with the constant barrage of questions. Also, not sure how or why the criticism of St. Louis helped to tell his story of being chess obsessed.
