Fifteen Moves Ahead: A Psychological Thriller by Devadeep Gupta is an intriguing book that will keep you on edge till the end. The author has used the game of chess as the main theme and cleverly built an interesting plot around it. Chess is all about mind games, with each player trying to anticipate the next move of the opponent. Imagine the blood bath on the chess board where one player is a methodical champion of logic who has never lost a game and the other player is a girl who is a gifted creative genius, a new rising star in the world of chess. The present champion has issues dealing with his dark past, while the new girl has her problems. Who will win in this battle of wits; the arrogant champion or the challenger with a creative gift?
Fifteen Moves Ahead is fast-paced and interesting. Devadeep Gupta did a commendable job in describing the players' thoughts, making the reader visualize the inner workings of the mind of a genius. His use of the pronouns ‘HE’ and ‘SHE’ to identify the main characters, instead of using their names, has created a sense of mystery around them. The prologue is beautifully written and anyone that reads it would immediately feel the urge to read this book. I would recommend this novel to all those readers who are looking for something unusual and intriguing. I am looking forward to reading the sequel as soon as possible. After reading this book, I started playing chess regularly. I am really glad that I chose it.
