''Carl Haffner’s Love of the Draw'' ((ドイツ語:Carl Haffners Liebe zum Unentschieden)) is a 1998 chess novel by Austrian writer Thomas Glavinic. It was Glavinic's first novel〔 and is about a shy and withdrawn Viennese chess master who in 1910 challenges the World Champion for his title.〔 The book was translated into English in 1999 by John Brownjohn for London-based publisher Harvill Press.〔 ==Plot summary== The novel is set mainly in Vienna in 1910. It presents a fictionalised account of a famous 1910 World Chess Championship match between Austrian grandmaster Carl Schlechter and the reigning German champion Emanuel Lasker. The eponymous Carl Haffner, closely based on Schlechter, is a withdrawn character with an eccentric preference for drawing games instead of winning. The narrative switches between the ten games of the 1910 World Championship and Haffner's psychological development in childhood and adolescence, showing how he used chess to overcome poverty.
