Vitalik, whom his mother calls Tal, is six years old and attends a chess club at the local youth community center.
Magnus Carlsen is the world chess champion, and he lives in far-off Norway.
A meeting between them seems impossible.
But they absolutely must meet! Natalia Evdokimova is a laureate and finalist of many literary awards, including the "Cherished Dream" award, as well as those named after S. Mikhalkov, V. Krapivin, and S. Marshak, and the all-Russian "Kniguru" contest. She is an author of fairy tales, short stories, scripts for the "Yeralash" newsreel, and science fiction novellas. Each of her new books is unlike the last, always featuring an unexpected plot and, most importantly, a unique perceptiveness that allows her to see into a child's inner world and their complex relationship with reality.
