The iconic musical where power and passion collide. It’s America versus Russia at the World Chess Championship, where the espionage and romance are as complicated and exhilarating as the game itself.

For the two players and the woman torn between them, everything – personal, professional and political – is at risk… and nobody’s rules are the same.
