The story tells that during the Cold War, although the famous Soviet chess player Ajiva was old and frail, he was still sent by Moscow to Geneva to play against Fromm, a chess player expelled by the Soviet government. In this war of the century, everyone seems to have become a piece on the chessboard, the game to play 10 games to see who can win! Until Ajiva had a heart attack and was dying on his bed, the contest between the two men was still not over.
