This is the story of a man who at 22 dared to be counted as the first Asian among the elite number of 104 living men in the world known in chess parlance as grand masters. His achievements mark the rebirth of an art that took root on the Asian continent some 50 centuries ago. this art -- the game of chess -- is believed to have been developed by Asian kings and emperors in a country that is now India. One account, that if Sir William Jones, goes so far as to theorize that it was invented by a woman, the wife of Ravan, King of Lanka (now Sri Lanka). --From the prologue
