The Luzhin Defence (2000)
Chess master Alexander Luzhin is staging a comeback at an international chess tournament in Italy. While there, he becomes enchanted by a German woman. His former teacher also seeks revenge on him through psychological terrorizing. The story is a bit incredulous, but Luzhin, played masterfully by John Turturro, draws immediate sympathy as the near autistic chess player.
