Introduction

Through interviews with and observations of young women chess players, Shahade, the 2004 US Women's Chess Champion, offers a look at the gender bias in the extremely competitive world of chess. She also introduces readers to a fascinating cast of characters, including the Polgar sisters, who refused to play in separate women's tournaments, and the current Women's World Champion, Antoaneta Stefanova.
