Title: A "must have" for any chessplayer or chess parent.
Review: Chess Bitch is not only about women in chess, but also, in part, about chess psychology and the contemporary chess subculture. It is superbly researched. Nothing like this has ever been written before. This is the first book that doesn't gloss over the human aspects of chessplayers. It portays the players as complex and multidimensional instead of saying, "well some of them are a little quirky and who cares why" and leaving it at that. You can see that a lot of work and thought went into writing this book, and no one but Jennifer Shahade could have written it. No chessplayer is going to be able to put this book down.
