Zugzwang
2017, Russian. Directed by Sergey Ramz.
The final match of a commercial tournament in classical chess should hold no surprises: the long-term champion annually breaks the bank, easily beating all opponents. However, this year one opponent has prepared an unusual strategy. When posing for the photographers and shaking hands with the intelligent and constrained Champion, the Opponent quietly tells him that he spent the night with the Champion’s wife.
