«La jugadora de go» is the novel by Shan Sa, published by Ediciones del Bronce in paperback (274 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Manchuria in 1931, the plot follows a sixteen-year-old Chinese aristocrat who, while Japanese troops occupy the territory, takes refuge in the game of go. Her skill at the board leads her to face a Japanese officer, and between games a relationship emerges that crosses the lines of conflict.
The translation is by Manuel Serrat Crespo; it was published in 2002 in the Étnicos del Bronce collection.
