The Last Checkmate: A Novel

A PopSugar Best Book of the Year!

Readers of Heather Morris’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz and watchers of The Queen’s Gambit won’t want to miss this amazing debut set during World War II. A young Polish resistance worker, imprisoned in Auschwitz as a political prisoner, plays chess in exchange for her life, and in doing so fights to bring the man who destroyed her family to justice.

Maria Florkowska is many things: daughter, avid chess player, and, as a member of the Polish underground resistance in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a young woman brave beyond her years. Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her as a chess opponent to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of exploiting her skills, he has every intention of killing her.

Befriended by a Catholic priest, Maria attempts to overcome her grief, vows to avenge the murder of her family, and plays for her life. For four grueling years, her strategy is simple: Live. Fight. Survive. By cleverly provoking Fritzsch’s volatile nature in front of his superiors, Maria intends to orchestrate his downfall. Only then will she have a chance to evade the fate awaiting her and see him punished for his wickedness.

As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch—and her past—one last time.

Works fairly well! Smells good.
Scent: Sweet Peach & Nectar
This works really good, it has a sweet peach smell to it and lasts for most of the day. After a long day the sweat makes it smell odd to me as my partner doesn't notice a change. Ive only used it after my showers since im afraid it might change the smell if I reapply throughout the day. When i get a new one i will try that and update if it makes me smell decent still after a few uses or if it starts to stink. It hasn't caused any irritation to my skin. I do like how easy it is to roll both ways and it doesn't get stuck like most deodorants I've used. Though I dont like how it visibly sticks to my clothes as it takes a bit to dry.

LOVE it! Easy to use, pigment is perfect, lasts all day!
Color: Black Brown, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I am a victim of early childhood bullying by my brother, who used me for the butt of all his jokes. My eyebrows for one. Always saying they were so think, I looked like the character from the guy from the Muppets Bert or Ernie. Always pointing them out and ridiculing me in front of everyone. I was little and it got worse as I got older, so when I was in grade school, I got tired of it and got ahold of my older sister's Nair hair removal and took them off. Imagine being in fifth grade fat, ugly and no brows, the taunting got even worse, so I had to learn from a young age to draw them in, I went through hell! Throughout the years, I learned how to draw them in and always used Jordana pencils as they were cheap and perfect. Since they no longer make them anyone, I went on the hunt for a better pencil, and after spending tons of money on eyebrow pencils and seeing how worthless they were, I tried these and OMG, FINALLY, someone got it right. These pencils are perfect, it's a self sharpening mechanical pencil so you don't loose half the pencil when trying to sharpen, It applies perfectly, the coverage is perfect, stays on forever, and removes with ease. One other thing that makes this pencil even more dynamic is the eraser at the end of the pencil, it allows you to shape your brows perfectly!

Sharp lines that don’t smudge
Color: Black, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This eyeliner is very precise and easy to apply, allowing you to create clean, sharp lines without much effort. The waterproof formula holds up well throughout the day without smudging or fading easily. It works well for both subtle everyday looks and more dramatic winged eyeliner styles. The built-in sharpener also helps maintain precision over time. Overall, it’s a dependable eyeliner for long-lasting eye definition.

Revlon colorstay pencil
Color: Sapphire, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This liner goes on well and has staying power. I like the color and am happy with this purchase, however… it needs to be sharpened just about every use. I probably won’t order again.
