Features: This is a work collection primarily focused on text. Inside the book, it records the observations, experiences, thoughts, joys, confusions, and fears of a woman who grew up playing chess. Taking this opportunity to summarize the most important matches in my chess career, other parts are written freely, like being far away from the emperor. For me, writing is a fun thing. Perhaps, my thoughts are not yet deep enough, and my writing is not yet mature enough, but these do not hinder Xie Jun's joy and sincerity in writing. Fortunately, all we need is a cup of tea, some music, a mood, and a little free time. I write, you read, and we chat together with words. The Woman Who Plays Chess is an autobiographical essay collection by Xie Jun, a woman who has won the International Chess Women's World Championship four times. With simple, unadorned words, she reveals multiple exciting moments from her chess career, allowing readers to truly feel the persistent, determined, and unapologetically feminine Xie Jun through these fragments. Her honesty and simplicity, her joys and sorrows, her ideals and confusions, all radiate a vivid, human-like brilliance in the eyes of the readers.
