“It’s advisable to tape your fingers before opening The Queen’s Gambit. Otherwise, the suspense may bring on nail-chewing right to the elbow.” –Houston Chronicle
“There’s more excitement in Beth than in the collected works of Robert Ludlum.” –Forth Worth Star-Telegram
“One of the most satisfying novels of the year.” –St. Louis Post-Dispatch
