George says, “This book came to me completely as a surprise. It’s a memoir called 'All the Wrong Moves' about a young guy who just decided to take up chess and try to become a champion. You don’t have to know anything about chess. You don’t have to be good at chess. It’s funny. It’s heartwarming in some ways and it’s about a journey, about a journey of a young man. It’s a great book.”

"Architectural Digest at 100: A Century of Style" by Architectural Digest
