In this episode we go over an intense and momentous game of chess between Paul and Ailel in The Summer Tree - which is the first book of The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay. I discuss why the scene resonated with me and how it very effectively lays the foundation for events to come later in the book and series.
