Book Description: World chess champion Alexander Alekhin - a Russian who holds French citizenship - lived his life like his matches, moving from victory to victory and from continent to continent, but in 1939, specifically when Alekhin was in the city of Buenos Aires, war broke out and changed the course of his life. Alekhin returns to Paris and there he witnesses the collapse of... His adopted homeland, France, fell under German occupation. Alekhin becomes a hostage and the property of Europe's new masters, the Nazi Germans, who seize the opportunity to exploit his fame as the world chess champion. Alekhin collaborates with Hans Frank and Joseph Goebbels (ministers of the Nazi regime) and participates in competitions held in the Reich. This is how he turns from a chess player into a chess piece that is being manipulated. Little by little, he began to lose the main pieces of him: his wife, Grace, his friends, and his best rivals. After the end of the war, Alekhin takes refuge in Portugal, and lives alone, as if he is playing alone against everyone. There, the invincible hero plays the last match of his life.
