Description
Leah Baxter is a chess prodigy with her sights set on becoming a junior grandmaster. But as she navigates the pressures of competition and her own personal grief, she's forced to make an unexpected sacrifice: quitting chess. Yet, the game refuses to let her go. In a surprising twist, Leah discovers a new passion - chessboxing, a high-risk sport that demands equal parts physical and mental toughness. As she delves deeper into this unorthodox world, Leah must confront the limits of her own strength and resilience. Can a player who's been reduced to stalemate find a way to outmaneuver her doubts and emerge victorious?
