Thomas Rosenmund is an outstanding chess player even as a child . However, the game drives him into addiction and he suffers a nervous breakdown. The mathematically gifted person decides never to play chess again. 20 years later he works for a computer company and develops a chess program that is considered unbeatable. The current world chess champion Stefan Koruga can defeat Rosenmund's chess program in a media-effective duel. Now Rosenmund's obsession has caught on and he now wants to face Koruga personally in order to return the favor for his chess program. Thomas Rosenmund goes beyond the limits of his physical and psychological powers. Although he wins the competition and becomes world champion, soon afterwards he is completely burned out and admitted to psychiatry.
criticism
“Technically conventional film that uses the game as a code for a disease-causing political-economic system. Impressive just by the presence of the actors. "
