Description

In anii de inceput ai celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial, la bordul unui pachebot ce se indreapta spre Buenos Aires, calatorii descopera ca printre ei se afla un campion mondial la sah pe nume Czentovic. Talentul de sahist al jucatorului, fiu al unui luntras sarac dintr-un satuc slav, e dublat de o lipsa de educatie apropiata de grosolanie. Printr-un concurs de imprejurari, Czentovic ajunge sa se infrunte pe tabla de sah cu un grup de calatori de pe vas, pe care ii invinge cu usurinta. Atunci insa intra in scena, cu totul surprinzator, un personaj straniu, al carui trecut recent este legat de jocul de sah intr-un mod tulburator si sumbru, ce implica o confruntare cu anchetatorii gestapovisti ai Reichului nazist. Ideea de „joc al mintii” capata astfel o semnificatie mult mai ampla, iar infruntarea ce se prefigureaza pe pachebot e doar ecoul alteia, mult mai teribila.
