EXTRACT OF THE REGULATION.

The World Chess Championship...

...will oppose Grand Master
Liebskind, World Champion...

...to grand master Fromm, winner
of the candidate tournament.

There is no limit to
the number of games.

Draws will not be counted.

Each competitor will be...

allowed to adjourn one game.

The world champion will receive
a $100,000 prize

and his opponent $50,000.

The world champion will be...

...the first player who
wins six games.

Ok, that is all.

LA DIAGONAL DU FOU

How do you feel?

Fine.

I'll feel even better
once the game has started.

You're talking like a positive
hero, Akiva Israelovitch.

The tracings are excellent.
Forget about them.

You have a heart like a
cosmonaut. You'll live to 120.

I've put together your
case notes.

Don't forget them.

And these,

always keep some on you.

I don't think you'll need them.

Anton, you promised to come.

They refused me an exit visa.

I knew it.

It will be repaired.

Put sound-proofing everywhere.

It will be done.

The pieces aren't heavy enough.

And I want more light.

They can be changed.

Jean?

And the lights?

They can be turned up.

Go ahead...

Grand Master Fromm
will stop you.

That's fine.

Mark that setting.
What's the grade?

Eighty lux.

Thank you.

What are they up to?

Moscow confirmed that
they are on this flight.

What's going on?

You're just replaying the game
you won from him in Erevan in '69.

You're lazy.

Talented, but lazy.

Go on, beat me.

Queen to G7.

If the rook takes B3,

...black bishop takes
pawn C4...,

...knight takes
the bishop...

...Unavoidable...

...Then the blacks push
the rook to G8 and it's all over.

The whites have had it.

If you want to beat
your opponent...

...study the games he lost.

Tac-Tac.

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

You've been in Geneva for
half an hour.

Then, let's get off.
What are we waiting for?

They're here.

His cardiologist, Heller?

No.

I was right.

Liebskind is not ill.

His heart attack is phoney.

Your information is rotten.

My information is correct.
The proof is Tac-tac.

You think they sent him to Geneva
because of his talent at chess?

How many threatening letters?

Twelve. Two threaten to kill you.

Pavius, I have the contract.

I've already said no. Twice.

You work 3 days,

pay off your debts,
and get an income for life.

I won't do it.

You know how much you owe me?
Give me something to sell!

Listen carefully, Foldes.

Fromm is Fromm...

...a professional chess player.

Have him play against
a hundred, a thousand guys.

Blindfolded, standing on one leg,
at the bottom of the ocean, but...

...I play chess, me...

...not some machines
with my name on them. Get it?

I'm going into town.

You weren't tailed?

No way.

Who's your man in my group?

No one.

I don't believe you.

Good.

You're an opportunist.

Everybody can't be
a dissident superstar.

How's the hero doing?

They let him out without
his cardiologist now?

He doesn't need one.

He'll put you to shame, superstar.

You know damn well that
I'm going to beat him.

Me, the renegade,
the traitor...

...the petit-bourgeois idealist!

You'll see...

...when I'm the world champion,

Pravda will call it one more
victory for Soviet chess.

You wanted to see me just to
say all that crap?

Have you seen Marina?

Yes.

How is she?

Fine, I think.

Didn't she say anything to you?

Why doesn't she answer
my letters any more?

What have you done to her?

Pavius...
Marina wants a divorce.

Tell her to wait until
the match is over.

Did they answer?

Yes.

He won't hold out his hand?

No.

Neither will he shake my hand?

Absolutely.

I don't believe you.

They accepted to pay the
$10,000 guarantee.

Are you happy?

Is wrong...
Something is wrong.

Calm, Pavius, the war
hasn't begun.

It has been lasting for five
years, since I went West.

Listen, Pavius, everything
has been negotiated for months.

The world is watching,
they have to behave.

They can do anything.
It's more sophisticated...

...you believe something
is coming, you get excited...

...and Liebskind has
already won.

They will never allow a renegade
to win over Liebskind.

I'm going to raise hell.

That's what they're waiting for.

I don't care.

Order a press conference
for tomorrow, 10 a.m.

What's going on?

You've seen Tac-tac?

Did you talk about Marina?

Put your cigarette away,
Gennadi lvanovitch.

But I'm not smoking,
Akiva Israelovitch.

You're threatening to smoke.

In chess, threats are
more serious than deeds.

You still enjoy beating me?

I savour victory's sweetness,

as you savour the bitterness
of defeat.

Why did you come?

I obey orders.

Check!

Really, now!

What's wrong?

We have to inspect the theatre
at eleven.

You go, I trust you.

Make sure everything conforms to
the protocol you negotiated.

But... he...

He increased the lights to 80,
I'll decrease them if they dazzle me.

He wants heavier pieces.

He won't play any better
with them.

But the cameras...,
the setting-up...

Totally unimportant.

I'm deaf.

Incredible! Incredible!
I do not accept your conduct!

I am incapable
to understand to you!

What do you live on?

My friends' generosity.

You've been called an
American agent...

How much does an
American agent earn?

You consider yourself
a dissident?

No. I'm an exile.

Weren't you a political activist?

Of course. Since the cradle.

As a pioneer I was censured
for glorifying Stalin.

During Khruschev's time
I was already a prankster.

What is a prankster?

A free man.

Where I come from, some jokes
are called "2 by 4".

Two years in jail for listening,
four years for telling them.

Seriously,

you were a Communist Party member,
Liebskind never was.

The party itself decides
who joins and who doesn't.

In Lithuania you have to join.
That's how it is. Everyone knows.

What about Liebskind?

Ask him, but you'll have to shout,
because he's deaf.

Why don't you shake his hand?

Are you sure he wasn't ordered
not to shake mine?

Have you heard from your wife?

I'd rather not talk about her.

I don't know anything.

I've had no news.

I fear the worst.

Let me go!

No, comrade Protanazov.
Stay.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

...you will be able
to question...

...for the first time
a KGB agent.

I'm a journalist.

Yeah, I know.
For which newspaper?

Say it, say it!

The Red Army Cultural Journal.

Hi, Andrée.

Hi.

What floor?

How are your end games?

O.K.

You're broke?

Yes, quite.

I could get you...

...some exhibition matches.

I thought you might need me.

Think no more.

Fear makes you nasty, Pavius.

You're the expert on fear...

...a real world champion.

You're afraid of me.

You won't get your revenge through me.

Bye.

And... good luck!

Shut up. That brings bad luck.

You don't need anyone for that.

He's a genius.

He's an alcoholic.

He had Liebskind beat
until he cracked up.

He's an asshole.

I don't get you.

I don't need anyone
to help me beat Liebskind.

You still refuse to adjourn
the first game?

Definitely.

Fromm will come back today,

or we'll never see him again.

Fine. In that case at exactly
three o' clock I'll set the timer,

and Grand Master Liebskind
will make his first move.

If Grand Master Fromm does not
arrive within one hour...

Liebskind will remain
the world champion.

The rules are very specific.

That's perfectly clear.

Very well.

We should have called the cops.
The cops would find him fast.

I don't need anyone
to help me beat Liebskind.

Akiva!

Hi!

Feed him! He's hungry.

But it's black. A black cat!

They paid the guarantee?

Yes. He won't shake your hand.

Hurry up!

A black cat. He's flipped!

Watch out Miller. He eats
Bolshevik mice.

Why is he telling me that?

Gentlemen...
...That's all. Thank you.

Pavius,

I propose a draw.

Citizen, please address the Judge.

Please.

No scenes.

Is this game a draw?

Yes.

By agreement, the first game is
declared a draw

at the thirty-fifth move.

He was in a strong position,
why did he accept a draw?

You forced him into it.

Also, it's his way of saying:

"Old lion, I'll beat you
when I feel like it."

That's idiotic.

Aren't you afraid of me?

No. Why?

We all destroy ourselves
more or less.

The main thing is to enjoy it.
Right?

What opening will he use?

I'm not asking for your advice,
I'm suggesting we bet on it.

Five hundred dollars?

Five hundred dollars.

Your opponent is actually
fairly limited.

He stood up to your
favourite opening.

Now he'd like to beat you
at your favourite defense.

So...

...he'll play an
English opening...

and expect you to transpose.

But you won't transpose.

You'll come up with a totally unpublished and devilishly...

...effective variation.

Tomorrow I'll use an
'English Opening'.

He's never beaten me
when I used that.

Liebskind stopped playing the
'classic English Opening'.

He'll transpose...

...and he'll use

the 'Tartakover gambit'...

...his favourite defense.

Exactly.

Then,

I'll castle on the queen's side...

then...

I play G4, H4,

and boom!

Look, an English opening.

Liebskind hasn't been up against
one of them since...

Wait, he'll play B7, B6 and transpose
the Tartakover variation.

Transpose, or not transpose?

Tartakover or not Tartakover?

Knight E4. He doesn't transpose.

Check!

Grand Master Liebskind wins
the second game.

Liebskind 1, Fromm 0.

You taught him a lesson in chess,
Akiva Israelovitch.

On Sunday, I'll use
an English opening.

That's vanity.

Fromm knows all the variations.

Akiva Israelovitch is right.

If he beats him with that...

...Fromm will be demoralized.

Yes, but what if he loses?

It would be a serious mistake.

Amen.

I have a perverse little
variation in mind.

Tac Tac...

Tac Tac,

Tac Tac.

Knight takes F6. He has to.

And here's my invention.

This car bothers me. Too confined,
too noisy. I want a boat.

A boat?

A boat in the water,

for crossing the lake,
a sailboat.

Play.

Grand Master Fromm

wins the third game.

Liebskind 1, Fromm 1.

I'm going to sleep.
Don't wake me. I'm not hungry.

Akiva!

Go to sleep now. That's enough.

The heart is holding up, Henia.
Do you understand?

Are you watching Miller?

Day and night. Even when I sleep.

The kid is clean.

Then, who is it?

Nobody...

...and you know it.

Stop being...

...your own worst enemy!

Pavius, please.

If it's not Miller, maybe it's you,

Mr. Felton, born Pzijebnstky!

Look, we can break
his French defense.

After bishop B5...

...he takes pawn D4...

...queen F6, and you're

at a disadvantage.

And now... Queen C3 and check.

He takes a rook,

and here's the deadly attack:
Knight E4. Simple?

Simple? Not really.

It all depends on pawn D4.
But it's certainly elegant.

It's dangerous.

But it's very elegant.

I like it. I love risks.

By agreement, the fourth game
is declared a draw at the 39th move.

There are mikes.

I tell you this
place is bugged.

Where? Tell me where?

Instantly, without a moment's
thought, he played rook G6.

We're being bugged...

...or somebody talked!

You're crazy, Pavius!

You're being ridiculous!

Be quiet! You don't know them!

Pavius!

There are no traitors,
no microphones...

I'll find them!

Stop.

Everyone here is on your side.

No!

That's not true!

No.

I'm the one who'll be world champion.

Me, not you.

You'll never be.

We're leaving.

We're moving out.

Where to?

That's your problem.
Deal with it.

May I introduce Mr. Dalcroze.

He's in charge of security
in the Canton of Geneva.

He will be personally responsible
for your safety and protection.

Unofficially, he is
already responsible.

Thank you, Mr. Senator.

We've checked out everything.
There are no microphones.

You'll be quite safe. My best men
are at your disposal.

That'll do.

I know what you're thinking about.

Marina...

I've stopped thinking of her.

It's hopeless.

They'll never let her come out.

She wants a divorce.

She's right.

It hurts quite a bit, that's all.

Tactac told you that?

And you believed him?

Mr. Referee, I protest.

My opponent's attitude
is totally unacceptable.

There is no rule
regarding punctuality.

He does it on purpose to disturb
my playing. I protest officially.

The grand jury will only consider

protests submitted in writing.

I'll write it immediately.

Grand Master Fromm wins
the fifth game.

Liebskind 1, Fromm 2.

The regimen is pretty tasteless,
Akiva Israelovitch.

Tactac, please stop your
insults and provocations.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I've asked officially
that the game be annulled.

How dare you ask for

the annulment of a game I played

without consulting me?

But you registered a protest!

To make him apologize, to humiliate him.

Withdraw that ridiculous request.

The jury will reject it.
The game was in order.

Read this.

"We recommend official protest over

opponent's inexcusable attitude.

Withdraw if he refuses
to apologize.

We are sending Grand Master
Fadenko and Professor...

Polotin

with verbal instructions."

"A. Karupov." The Minister himself.

What Grand Master Fromm does
is not against the rules.

I'm here unofficially.
The jury hasn't met yet.

But the Soviets feel that
Grand Master Fromm's repeated late

arrivals are meant to disturb
his opponent's concentration.

They want the game annulled.

That's absurd.

To disturb your opponent, you have to
be there. But Fromm is not there.

It's ridiculous.

What does Liebskind's letter say?

As far as I know,

he demands that both players be
present at the start of each game.

There's nothing in the rules about that.

Liebskind's demand has no legal
basis, and you know it.

Still, the jury would appreciate

if Grand Master Fromm would

apologize to his opponent,
as a gesture of appeasement.

Apologize! But it's unintentional!

Unintentional but systematic.

Whose side are you on?

The Soviets threaten to withdraw.

All right, I'll write your
letter of apology!

The bastards!

I won't give them an excuse
to run out on me.

Henia.

Akiva, will you eat something?

No, Henia. I'm not hungry.

You took your medicine,
now you must eat something.

Henia!

Well!

I want you to know
I didn't ask to come.

I know, but I'm glad
to see you.

Well?

Fromm is playing well.

His ideas are sound.
But he plays too fast.

Your game is a bit heavy.

Georgian Champagne:

Too much sugar, not enough flavour.

They're worried.

Who's that.

A secret weapon.

Our orders are to help him
in his assignment.

So, over there they think
I need a secret weapon?

Akiva, are you thirsty?

Akiva, do you want some tea?

Akiva, are you in pain?

I'm afraid, Henia.

What if Akiva Liebskind wasn't
Akiva Liebskind any more?

Don't cry.

Don't cry... I'm here, I'm here.

My love.

Gentlemen, please.

Do you see what I see?

Mate in seven moves.

He didn't see it.
That's unbelievable!

Kick that man out!

Get rid of him right now!

Immediately!

Just what is going on?

You see that man
in the front row?

He's trying to get inside of me,

To take me over.
I can't concentrate any more.

He's hypnotizing me.

That's it, yes,
he's hypnotizing me.

Throw him out, or I'm leaving!

The rules are quite clear.

I'm here to see that they're obeyed.

I'm sorry I can only remove
a member of the audience

if both players request it.

Is that man disturbing you?

To be honest, no.

I'm the one he's hypnotizing.

They want to kill me.

This is all ridiculous.

Pure fantasy from a sick mind.

Sharks, swine, murderer, bastard!

Calm down, please.

Is that man part of
your delegation?

Professor Polotin is
an eminent scientist.

He is an honorary member
of our Federation.

He's there in the interest
of science

doing research necessary
for his work.

The organizing committee has
issued him an official pass.

I won't play while
he's in the audience.

Please.

He's a parapsychologist.

To avoid interrupting the game,

it will continue in a small room.

The audience will observe the
match on the wall chess board.

We formally object to that.

It's against the rules.

Only the jury can make such a
decision. It's out of your realm.

As Chief Judge, I'm responsible for

the proper conduct of the match.

That's my duty!

I take note of your protest.

But nothing can prevent
my having...

...this game played with
the curtain lowered...

...if I judge it necessary.

That's right.

Lower the iron curtain.

Perfect.

It'll be quite clear.

I might be able to convince the
Professor to sit in the th row.

Stop!

No! The iron curtain!

I suggest that we continue
the game

by turning the table so that

only Grand Master Liebskind
faces the professor

the honorary member
of the Soviet Federation.

Because his presence does not
disturb him at all.

Do you accept the suggestion
made by Grand Master Felton?

I'm here to play chess.

Do you agree?

This is inadmissible.
I protest!

Please, gentlemen,
the game will continue.

Grand Master Liebskind
wins the sixth game.

Liebskind 2, Fromm 2.

Now look.
What do you see?

Mate in seven.

Right. And here's
what you played.

Those bastards!

The damn parapsychologist!

Calm down, I asked that the
game be annulled.

It's ridiculous.

They'll come up with
something else. You'll see.

No, no, no...

Not right now.

Puhl held out.

And they can't go after him.

If he goes, we go too...

and they know it.

Now, stop playing with
that thing.

This thing?

Yes

This thing... is a sceptre.

It's Liebskind's pen.

He left it on the table.

Return it.

No, you don't understand.

He didn't forget it.

He wanted to give it to me.

I'm sure.

I was ten years old...

...when he came to Kovno
for the championship.

After he won,

he agreed to play a simultaneous game
against the best players of the club.

I was the only one who beat him.

He was wonderful.

He asked for a return game.

As if I were a real pro,
not a kid.

He won of course.

Then he said:

Do you want one last game?

I said "No...

I want your secrets".

He laughed.

For two hours...

...he gave me a chess lesson.

To me!

To me alone!

I've forgotten none of it.

Who would forget that?

Tomorrow, you'll buy one

just like it...

but in gold.

You see?

A very, very beautiful one.

That way we'll be even.

Where could I have lost
that damn pen?

In the car?

In the car, or else in the boat.
Come on, let's go and see.

Have you seen my pen?

We'd like to talk to you.

Your attitude when Professor
Polotin was expelled,

your passivity, your silence,
could be interpreted.

My silence is silent. Interpret
it however you like.

- But Moscow...
- What Moscow? What?

Has Moscow got another
world champion?

Forget Moscow!
Find my pen!

It's a gift, it always
brought me luck.

You're beautiful,

but will you bring me luck?

Liebskind 2, Fromm 3.

Give me one.

If you start again now,
you'll never stop.

Please...

Propose a draw
to my opponent.

Grand Master Fromm...

Make him play.

Check.

Check.

Check.

Grand Master Liebskind wins
the eighth game.

Liebskind 3, Fromm 3.

Twice, eh?

First he sacrifices
the rook, and now the queen.

His favourite gambit.

A poetic and eternal gambit.

The trap of desire caught
in his trap of desire.

You feel humiliated, right?
You're scared.

You're beginning to understand.
You're like me.

You're drunk. Go to bed.

You have no excuses.

You played too fast, out of pride.

You've no excuses.

Now he'll slaughter you.
He loves blood.

He's merciless!

I'm giving up.

That would really
surprise me.

Pavius!

Pavius!

Feel better now?

Yes.

Grand Master Fromm wins
the ninth game.

Liebskind 3, Fromm 4.

You came

to watch me lose? Watch me
drop dead?

Get out of here!

Throw it away. Please.

It's poison, Henia.
It's very good.

Henia...

Why didn't you ever
want to play chess with me?

I'm not jealous.

You know very well you'd
never let me win at chess.

Afterwards we'll go to Italy.

You always wanted to see Italy.

I'm not a good husband, Henia.

I never wanted any other.

At the university you loved
a young mathematician.

A future professor, a scientist.

And look at me today.

Akiva, you're a great champion.

I play games.
I'm only a player, Henia.

The other one.

I'm all right.
This isn't the first time.

I'm going to sleep a while.

Don't worry.

The tenth game is adjourned
at the forty-first move.

It will continue tomorrow
at 4:00 P.M.

Pavius?

He's ill.

Shit, shit and more shit!

I'm sure they'd sooner make him
drop dead than let me beat him.

What you want is to be
world champion.

But I play to make them crazy,
those bastards!

How is he?

He's sleeping.

I couldn't come back until
tomorrow evening.

Let's go in.

Excuse me, Akiva Israelovitch.

This is Dr. Randelier.

We'd like him to examine you.

I'm perfectly fine.

I must insist. Moscow wants
an official denial.

Dr. Randelier is an eminent
heart specialist.

Doctor, I have my own physician,
Dr. Anton Heller.

My country's authorities didn't
allow him to accompany me.

Don't be offended, but no doctor
will examine me in his absence.

After that sealed move,
he can't win anymore.

A draw is still possible.

Look

Good, let's propose a draw.

Do you think Fromm is
dumb enough to accept?

He refuses all treatment.
He wants Heller.

Then we're in trouble.

They'll never let Heller out.
His children are in Israel.

Let's pray Fromm
breaks his neck.

Why pray?

It's obvious!

We'll break his heart!

We have the ideal weapon.

His wife!

It's a risky scheme.

It might hurt our prestige.

We're in the West.
Imagine the scandal.

They'll never allow it.

I'm off to Moscow. I'll see
the Minister...

or I'll go higher.

There's not enough time.

The game starts again
at 4:00 P.M.

The next one is Thursday,
the day after tomorrow.

I'll be back before Thursday.

It's the only solution,
and they'll go along with it.

It's a beautiful move.

Thanks.

Grand Master Fromm wins
the tenth game.

Liebskind 3, Fromm 5.

There.

Rest up, try to sleep.

I'll be back tomorrow.

I've left you Pavius'
telephone number.

Call him when you want to.

Get out.

Could we speak to you?

Leave me alone!

Anton!

Akiva...

...you've worked a miracle!

They took long enough
to understand.

Pavius is waiting for you.

You're lying.

I know you brought me here
to make him lose the match...

...you're counting on
the impact of the surprise.

No.

Surprise isn't essential.

It's just preferable.

Get out!

You'll go.

You need him.

And you have no choice.

Neither escape...

...nor suicide...

...would solve the problem.

I hate you.

You're right.

Anton...
are you listening to me?

Take it easy, Akiva.

He won't be able to play
tomorrow. He's not up to it.

I'll need some drugs.

Get a Swiss doctor
to sign the prescription.

Listen to me, Anton.

Akiva, it's serious.

I know.

I can feel it.

I don't want to live like

a vegetable for ten years.

I want ten days.

Just ten days...

...but with all my wits
about me. Understand?

I don't even know
if I can save you.

I don't give a damn!

Cured or dead, I want
to beat that little jerk.

Now I know how.
I've got him figured out.

Akiva, I'm the one who
gives orders now.

What do you think?

You Zionist bastard

You think I refused treatment

just for your sake?

That I got you out
so you'd preach to me?

You'll do what I tell you.

You are the only one
who can do it.

That's why you're here.

What you're asking is
unworthy of a friend.

I want ten days.
I want to beat that kid.

It's my life!
And it's my carcass!

It may be too late.

It's not too late.
I know I can beat him.

Anton!

Akiva,

they didn't teach me
to work miracles.

I'll need some more supplies.

Will he be able to play?

If he tolerates the
treatment in three days.

He'll be able to create an
illusion, but not for long.

At most, ten days.

The game must be postponed.

Out of the question.

Liebskind's illness
must remain a total secret.

It's Fromm who should ask for
the postponement of the game.

That's the beauty of the plan.

The "heart-breaker".

Tac Tac.

Thank you for coming, Colonel.

She's locked herself in a room.

You're complicating a simple operation.

She'll crack, that's certain.

But I don't know when.

One should never leave
anything to chance.

Never.

We'll take action at noon.

Thanks.

Madame Fromm?
Federal Police.

You have nothing to fear.

We're here to help you,
believe me.

We heard from reliable sources

that your life is in danger.

We're taking your under our
protective custody.

Where are you taking me?

Judge Dombert has prepared
a request for political asylum.

It's a legal formality,
but it's essential.

Where are you taking me?

To your husband, it's safe there.

We're already protecting him.

Oh, no.

Protect me here.

In this room.

That's impossible.

Come, look.

Come on, Madame Fromm.

See those roofs?

I'd have to place
armed men on each one.

And around the clock.

I don't have the personnel.

They don't have to kill me,
you know.

You're all alike.

Promise...

swear to me that I won't
see him before the game is over.

Think hard, Madame Fromm.

If they warned us,
what's to keep them...

...from alerting the press
and your husband?

They may already have done that.

Trust us.

They've won.

It all works out.

Pavius will never forgive me.

Come on, comrades, let's go.
Tonight I'll be world champion.

An hour before the match. That's
outrageous. We were just about to leave.

Well... All right...

Goodbye and thank you.

They asked for a postponement
of the game.

Have faith, Pavius.

Do you love me?

Tell me again.

You're here.

Now I feel strong.

I'll be the world champion.

Afterwards we'll have a child.

Don't be sad anymore.

Sad...

Depressive and asocial is what
they said at the hospital.

How long were you in there?

One year...

twenty-seven days...

and eight hours.

They wanted me to divorce you,
but I didn't want to.

I... I'm not insane.

No. Of course you're not.

Don't be sad anymore.
Everything will be fine.

How about a Ruy Lopez Opening?

I don't know.

I wasn't thinking about that.

It won't do. It should be some
rare, sophisticated opening.

Pushkin... or Goethe...

Do what you want, Akiva.

But your intuition, Henia.

I don't know anymore.

You're right. I need a variant
from long ago.

A forgotten pearl.

Stop it, Akiva!

It's too late.

Pretend, Henia.
One always has to pretend.

What kind of weird opening is that?

It's a museum piece.
The Ponziani.

They sweated, the bastards!

Grand Master Liebskind wins
the eleventh game.

Liebskind 4, Fromm 5.

Akiva,
give up the tournament.

Don't give me orders.

Look at yourself.

Give me the injection.
I'll make it.

Let him. He should abandon.

He's going to die.

Let him at least die in peace.

Check.

Check!

Mate.

Mate!

Grand Master Liebskind wins
the twelfth game.

Liebskind 5, Fromm 5.

Anton, I'm not feeling well at all.

Let him through. Please.

Let him through!

Good, Pavius.

You're getting nasty again.
You'll beat him.

Pavius...

come with me.

What's going on?

Grand Master Liebskind
is in the hospital.

And Mr. Kerossian tells us that
he's giving up the tournament.

Congratulations,
you're the world champion.

Is it serious?

Doesn't he want a return game?

I don't think so.

Unless you expressly request it,
we have decided

to forgo the usual ceremony...

...in view of the circumstances.

Here is your check for $100,000.

With our congratulations.

I told you they'd kill him...

...to keep me from beating him.

That's absurd, Pavius!

It's absurd.

Look at me,

I'm a new woman.

Pavius, what is happening?

It's Liebskind. I'm sure.
He is dead, right?

He abandoned.

No, no, he is dead.
Tell me!

He is dead? Now, you're
going to die!

You're world champion,
I'm sure, you're going to die!

Marina, for God's sake,
stop believing you're mad!

Pavius, you're world champion,
you're going to die.

Leave, now.
Afterwards, you won't be able to.

Get out! I don't want
you to watch me die.

Go to Jerusalem.

You always were a bigot, deep inside.

You see, I haven't forgotten.

He needs you.

I'm a Soviet citizen,
I demand political asylum.

I'm a Soviet citizen,
I demand political asylum.

I'd like you to come with me.

I need to be in
a hospital here.

I need those drugs.

Inside me everything is
confused, Pavius.

I am sick, it's true.

I'm going to hurt you...

...hurt you very much.

Listen Marina... It's all over.
I'm the world champion.

We have plenty of time now.

No, Pavius.
They've won.

They destroyed me,
so that I would destroy you.

They've won.

I was expecting you.
