Chess is used as a metaphor for romantic rivalries and the US-Soviet rivalry during the Cold War of the 1980s. The story involves two chess grandmasters, an American and a Soviet, fighting over a woman who manages one and falls in love with the other—all in the context of a politically charged, Cold War-era tournament between the two men.
