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.
You can read it in one sitting in the language you are learning.
