The Kings of New York, book by Weinreb

There is a chess book called "The Kings of New York", about a group of New York school kids who grew up with chess. One of them, is the new Grandmaster Alex Lenderman who achieved his Grandmaster title in six months.



For those who are interested, you may reach GiLocatur’s commentary about the exploits of the young GM Alex Lenderman and how he achieved his IM and eventually his Grandmaster title at the following link below:-

or, the Chessville website at the following link:-

GM Alex Lenderman frequently gives lectures on chess openings in the Internet Chess Club (ICC) webpage. However, you need to be a subscriber to view it.

I have personally bought and read the book itself and it is definitely a thriller to read from front to the last page of the book. A definite joy read for chess enthusiasts!
