About the author

Walter Tevis (1928-1984) fue profesor de literatura en la universidad de Ohio. Escribi siete libros, tres de los cuales se adaptaron al cine con enorme xito: El buscavidas (1959), con Paul Newman como protagonista; su secuela El color del dinero (1984), dirigida por Martin Scorsese de nuevo con Newman (Oscar al mejor actor por ese trabajo) junto a Tom Cruise; y El hombre que cay en la Tierra (o El hombre quevino de las estrellas, con David Bowie). Su ficcin, en la vena de la mejor literatura estadounidense del siglo, recoge con enorme bro narrativo y pasin varias de las aficiones de Tevis, entre ellas el billar y el ajedrez, y crea personajes inolvidables, vctimas de sus debilidades y salvados por su genio natural. Gambito de dama ha sido alabada por los mejores ajedrecistas del mundo por su fidelidad al juego, usando las mejores partidas de la historia en la trama, y mostrando la miseria y la gloria de un personaje inolvidable que pone en el tablero su vida entera.
