Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1978 world chess championship, the narrative explores the fierce rivalry between Soviet defector Viktor Korchnoi and the establishment's Anatoly Karpov. This clash of titans is enhanced by an array of eccentric figures, including parapsychologists and spiritual gurus, while political intrigue looms with the involvement of President Marcos and his wife Imelda. Grandmaster Ray Keene, serving as Korchnoi's chief second, provides an insider's perspective on this extraordinary and chaotic chess competition.
