64-Square Madhouse

64-Square Madhouse

by Fritz Leiber

At the heart of the story is a chess tournament like no other: a battle of wits between human prodigies and a groundbreaking machine. The machine, with its lightning-fast calculations and relentless precision, poses a formidable challenge to the human players. Yet, as the tournament progresses, it becomes clear that the machine is not invincible. It can be tricked, outsmarted, and even outsmarted by human ingenuity.
