In 1978, young ambitious Soviet chess champion Anatoly Karpov must defend his title against a former mentor and defector to the West Viktor Korchnoi. Their face-off becomes the most dramatic championship match in chess history.

A dramatic and legendary match for the title of world champion between the current champion Anatoli Karpov and challenger for this title Viktor Korchnoi, who emigrated from the USSR. The clash of outstanding chess players is, first and foremost, a duel of characters. Against a young genius, a child prodigy and an idealist - a seasoned fighter, obsessed and unpredictable, ready to fight with any weapon: chess for him is war. Virtuoso play, maximum psychological tension and personal, human confrontation between the two strongest chess players on the planet. The price of victory in this match is immeasurably high.—Tango Papa
