The Polish screenwriters made up a story of spy intrigue behind a major chess match, and I must say that they haven’t done a bad job. The biggest asset of the film was Professor Mansky - Bill Pullman gave a brilliant performance. I really enjoyed him in the role of an alcoholic genius. Although I felt that the creators sometimes went a little overboard, it worked quite well for me as a whole, and I was decently entertained.
