- Also the _The Squares Of The City_ by John Brunner. The novel starts out
- appearing to be about political infighting between two factions in an
- un-named S.A. country. It turns out that the two leaders are playing a
- chess game using people on each side as pieces. Each political event
- that happens is actually a move in the game. If I recall correctly
- the game itself is one of Steinitz's palmier efforts.
