What does it take to make it to the top of your game?


As a chess champion, Jennifer Shahade has travelled the world playing major tournaments. At the top, she finds rivalry and friendship; sexism and feminism; ecstatic highs and excruciating losses.

An essential guide for all aspiring chess queens, Jennifer's story reveals what it takes to break through the glass ceiling.
