At the height of the Cold War, two chess masters meet in Bangkok to battle for the world championship, but their greatest contest is for the love of one woman. Telling a story of love and political intrigue and set against the background of the Cold War in the late 1970s/early 1980s, Chess features an incredible score by Benny and Bjorn of ABBA, with lyrics by Tim Rice.
