The world chess champion is travelling on a liner from New York to Buenos Aires. He is a cold, almost illiterate man, unbeatable at the chessboard. A few passengers challenge him and lose, until a stranger, Dr B., joins the game and puts him in difficulty.
This short story, Stefan Zweig's last, keeps you in suspense right to the end and slowly reveals the stranger's secret.
