Вебинар: Механизмы в SAST-решениях для выявления дефектов из OWASP Top Ten - 12.03
Just so you know — as of my current knowledge (cutoff: May 2025), Sally Rooney has not published any work by that exact title. Her published novels are Conversations with Friends (2017), Normal People (2018), Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021), and Intermezzo (2024).
The chess motif allows Rooney to explore this sibling dynamic without melodrama. The brother and sister do not have long, tearful conversations about their father. Instead, they sit in a room together, separated by the chessboard. They communicate through the game. When she asks him to teach her, or when she watches him play online, she is attempting to enter his world—a world where the death of a father cannot checkmate the king if you play the right defense. It is a heartbreaking realization: while she is drowning, he has found a dry island of logic to stand on.
You might be mixing two things:
Early in the novel, Ivan teaches Margaret a complex line of the Sicilian Defense. Rooney writes: “He showed her the Najdorf variation, explaining how a pawn sacrifice now could mean victory in twenty moves. She didn’t understand the moves, but she understood the offer. He was showing her how he thought. There is no intimacy greater than showing someone how you lose.”
Will there ever be a true “Chess Fiction Intermezzo”? Perhaps. The success of Rooney’s novel, despite its minimal chess content, proves that readers are ravenous for stories where intelligence and vulnerability meet. A future author might write the perfect synthesis: the propulsive tournament plot of The Queen’s Gambit with the melancholic prose of Sally Rooney.
Sally Rooney has not written a novel titled Intermezzo . Her forthcoming (as of 2025) and most recent novel is simply titled Intermezzo (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, September 2024). Furthermore, Rooney is not known for writing “chess fiction” in the vein of The Queen’s Gambit or Nabokov’s The Defense .
: Unlike the finite outcomes on a board, the novel suggests that human existence is an "undecidable game" where one event does not always meaningfully follow another.
