Publisher's summary

"Disons que les échecs n'ont plus de secret pour moi, mais seulement d'un point de vue théorique. C'est une histoire assez compliquée, et qui pourrait, tout au plus, servir d'illustration à la charmante et grandiose époque où nous vivons. Si vous avez la patience de m'écouter une demi-heure..."
Sur un paquebot entre New-York et Buenos-Aires, deux hommes s'affrontent sur un échiquier. D'un côté, Czentovic, champion du monde, à l'esprit apathique et au jeu méthodique ; de l'autre, monsieur B., un dilettante inconnu, aux combinaisons brillantes et subtiles. Cet aristocrate cache un secret, intimement lié à l'entrée des nazis dans Vienne en 1938.

Terrible Narration. Poor Sweig.

Poivey should stick to San Antonio. His style and voice are far from Mr Sweig's and his characters' class. His co-narrators are just as low-class. Parisian "gouaille" in the mouth of Austrian aristocracy. Total Flop.
Now, if you want the tone and refinement characteristic to Stefan Sweig's style, listen to "24 heures de la vie d'une femme" read on Audible by Marie Christine Barrault. Music to the ear and the heart.
