Review title: Trying too hard
Product review: It seems that the author was too committed to trying to tie chess and the number eight to everything in life regardless of how ridiculous the plot needed to be to make it happen.Characters were pretty simple, and the "logic" explaining thier actions just didn't make sense much of the time. I certainly wouldn't want the book to be any longer, but I think many of the scenes needed to be drawn out and developed further.
