Books about intellectual rivals?

Butterfly vs :3: A Complete History by David Irving

based

What’s Yea Forums‘s take on the best chess rivalry? For me it’s Lasker vs Capablanca or Alekhine vs literally everybody else

Versus?

Dude it’s always funny to see underage ban and virginfags trying to rationalize what is going on. This shit must be above your heads or something

They are ‘negging’ each other. Dude you are literally falling into his trap

He is reading about people. Retard.

Bobby Fischer vs the glow in the dark jews.

Are you really splitting hairs here, faggot? You know exactly what I meant.

The Final Problem

>two highly intelligent people competing with each other is something that is not worth reading

>Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty

Intelligent characters are brilliant when written correctly.

...is this true? I’ll check it out if it’s true

Understand by Ted Chiang.

Short read but well worth it

Narcissus and Goldmouth by Hesse

Three Kingdoms, specifically the chapters involving the battles between armies led by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang.

>Holmes
>well written
>apparent genius who doesn’t even know the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning

I'm reminded of Chess Story by Stefan Zweig.
>Travelers by ship from New York to Buenos Aires find that on board with them is the world champion of chess, an arrogant and unfriendly man. They come together to try their skills against him and are soundly defeated. Then a mysterious passenger steps forward to advise them and their fortunes change. How he came to possess his extraordinary grasp of the game of chess and at what cost lie at the heart of Zweig's story.

Isn't Moriarty only in one story? And the Sherlock Holmes stories I have read have been mediocre at best.

The Prestige by Christopher Priest

Kek

This. It's a really cool short story and worth checking out.

Thanks I'll have to look into it.

I can’t fucking believe LeBlanc got away with just moving the S to the last name

He's in a few iirc, and he really only has a lasting legacy because in the final short story him and Holmes inexplicably disappear at a waterfall.
