The Last Checkmate by Gabriella Saab is a historical novel set during World War II that follows the harrowing journey of Maria, a young Polish resistance fighter and chess prodigy imprisoned in Auschwitz. Maria is forced to play chess matches with Nazi officers, including the brutal camp deputy, as she struggles to survive and cope with the horrors of the concentration camp. Driven by a desire for justice and a need to stay alive, Maria uses her skills and cunning to navigate the deadly games forced upon her, while secretly plotting her own escape and revenge.

Throughout her time in Auschwitz, Maria encounters others who help her find strength, resilience, and a will to persevere. Saab’s story delves deep into themes of survival, defiance, and the power of hope against all odds. It’s a tale of courage and moral complexity that explores the human spirit’s capacity to endure, even when faced with unimaginable cruelty.
