«El ajedrecista de Auschwitz. La partida final» is the historical novel by John Donoghue, published by Booket in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In 1944, Emil Clément, a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz, tries to go unnoticed to survive, but his skill at fixing watches puts him in the Nazis' sights. When they organize a chess championship, the prisoner, known as the Watchmaker, becomes a threat by standing up to his adversaries. In 1962, now a professional player, Emil receives a visit from Paul Meissner, an SS officer who shared his experience in the camp and seeks his forgiveness. The novel explores guilt, impossible friendship, and redemption.
