"I enjoyed this book. Directed by George Marshall.

"The Mating Game" is not in my usual genre category of novels that I read, and as such I was unsure of what to expect from this book. The most remarkable difference was that Vanny hardly knew jealousy, neither in chess nor in her personal life. He is also successful with young ladies.

A short little game that I put a lot of effort into. Use the HTML below.

An uptight IRS agent is ordered to investigate a rural family in debt to the government...but the family - including lovely daughter Mariette - help him loosen up. She has won many international tournaments and is a prolific author of books about chess.

However, there were great differences between Vanny and many chess-players.

Although knowing little about chess, I was enthralled by the fascinating storyline of this well-written novel which gave insights into the game without being at all boring for a non-player.

In the story, a Norwegian appears, and I know Jovanka is married to a Norwegian. Would recommend as a good beach or travel read. I give the film a 7 out of 10 IMDB rating.

So, I recommend the book, but hang on to your seatbelt.

In chess terms, I could recognise many things from my own experience: how to rescue yourself from a disastrous tournament start and the huge stress that will make you comparatively indifferent to the outside world or just going to parties and seeking relief in sex and booze. An uptight IRS agent is ordered to investigate a rural family in debt to the government...but the family - including lovely daughter Mariette - help him loosen up. Special thanks goes to DAHR for creating the title screen and the VHS selection menu. He's never lost at chess to Jovanka, but only because he's too scared to play her.

Try again. It is a simple plot and the comedy is not than funny, but what makes this film so special is how director George Marshall brings this quaint picture to life with a memorable performance by both Debbie Reynolds and Tony Randall.I can watch this film over and over just for Debbie Reynolds alone, but also as this era of film making and the picture quality is from a forgotten era but deserving of a more memorable one.

However, I found myself gripped by the strong narrative throughout the novel, and finished the book in less than a week due to being unable to put it down at certain points. Personally, I enjoyed it as it is set in places I know very well, such as Canterbury, Broadstairs and London.

I watched Judit Polgar win the Hastings Challengers' tournament half a lifetime ago. If you want an intimate, exciting, original and daring book, I definitely recommend 'The Mating Game'!

They are both very strong chess players, both have a chess book to their name, both play the Caro-Kann opening with Black and they both had something to do with a very handsome Norwegian! The characters throughout the book are strong, engaging and incredibly varied - at times you almost forget that some of them are actually fictional - and the story itself takes place in such a variety of different locations around the world, which are all beautifully described and meticulously researched.

In this comedy/romance film Debbie Reynolds plays a young, and very pretty farm girl tomboy with more spunk than tough guy James Cagney or Clint Eastwood could ever display. But as the story continues to unfold, there were other events in it and at some point it became clear that fantasy got the upper hand in the story.

So, I recommend the book, but hang on to your seatbelt.

That was tricky to read in some ways, because I know Jovanka a little and the book is very intimate about her life.
