The stories about 13-year-old Markus have been a great success, internationally as well as in Norway. Here is the sixth book of the series.

This time, Sigmund gives Markus a chess board. Sigmund sees himself as the castle in the chess game, and he sees Markus as a little king that needs protection. In Sigmund’s mind, the school yard is the chess board. This is the source of a lot of amusement – and even love, actually. You don’t need to know chess at all to enjoy this story.
