Summary
A fantasy, that could have been.
You are not sure you had ever been happy before you met Florence Vassy, you think as she takes you by the hand and spins you around the kitchen, the soft crackle of the radio filling the air as you dance completely out of time with the music. She laughs softly, and you lean in to kiss her nose, before she bats you away.
‘We’re dancing Tolya, don’t disrupt the dancing.’ Anything for her, you think as she twirls you under her arm, that nightgown of hers you have borrowed floating around you softly. -

Summary
When you meet Frederick Trumper for the first time your name is not yet Florence Vassy.
Florence Vassy's journey through the world of chess, self-discovery, and some truly messy relationships. -
Tags
Summary
Winifred Trumper had always drawn glances when she walked into a chess tournament. When she was a child it had been because of her age, and as she had matured the focus had shifted towards her gender. These days, she liked to think it was because of her skill. She was world champion and acted like it. Some people thought that was a shameful thing, for a woman to be so arrogant, but what would have been the point in winning if she didn’t let it get to her head?
Or, The American and The Russian are women. This changes things but perhaps not as much as expected.

Summary
Walter knew that if you stuck with something like this long enough, eventually it would all come back around to you. He knew that in the things he was dealing with, eventually you would find yourself bumping up against history. Real, honest, literal history. The kind of things he saw playing out behind his eyes while he was in school. The kind of things that always feel so distant until you are in them.

Summary
He didn’t want to be a celebrity, no, he was content with playing games from the sidelines. A good spy knows when to not be noticed, and Molokov was a good spy. He just wanted his name mentioned up there in those books he read. He wanted someone else to read about him one day. He wanted to prove that he existed, he wanted to be able to look at the events that happened in his lifetime and say: I was there.
