"Ok..." "Go..." "That goes..." "The 32?" "Send..." "EXTRACT OF THE REGULATION." "The World Chess Championship will oppose Grand Master Liebskind, World Champion to grand master Fromm, winner of the candidate tournement." "There is no limit to the number of games." "Draws will not be counted." "Each competitor will be... allowed to adjourn one game." "The world champion will receive a $100,000 prize and his opponent $50,000." "The world champion will be the first player who wins six games." "Ok, that is all." "LA DIAGONAL DU FOU" "How do you feel?" "Fine." "I'll feel even better once the game has started." "You're talking like a positive hero, Akiva Israelovitch." "The tracings are excellent." "Forget about them." "You have a heart like a cosmonaut." "You'll live to 120." "I've put together your case notes." "Don't forget them." "And these, always keep some on you." "I don't think you'll need them." "Anton, you promised to come." "They refused me an exit visa." "I knew it." "It will be repaired." "Put sound-proofing everywhere." "It will be done." "The pieces aren't heavy enough." "And I want more light." "They can be changed." "Jean?" "And the lights?" "They can be turned up." "Go ahead..." "Grand Master Fromm will stop you." "That's fine." "Mark that setting." "What's the grade?" "Eighty lux." "Thank you." "What are they up to?" "Moscow confirmed that they are on this flight." "What's going on?" "You're just replaying the game you won from him in Erevan in '69." "You're lazy." "Talented, but lazy." "Go on, beat me." "Queen to G7." "If the rook takes B3, ...black bishop takes pawn C4..., ...knight takes the bishop Unavoidable Then the blacks push the rook to G8 and it's all over." "The whites have had it." "If you want to beat your opponent study the games he lost." "Tac-Tac." "Excuse me." "What are you doing here?" "You've been in Geneva for half an hour." "Then, let's get off." "What are we waiting for?" "They're here." "His cardiologist, Heller?" "No." "I was right." "Liebskind is not ill." "His heart attack is phoney." "Your information is rotten." "My information is correct." "The proof is Tac-tac." "You think they sent him to Geneva because of his talent at chess?" "How many threatening letters?" "Twelve." "Two threaten to kill you." "Pavius, I have the contract." "I've already said no." "Twice." "You work 3 days, pay off your debts, and get an income for life." "I won't do it." "You know how much you owe me?" "Give me something to sell!" "Listen carefully, Foldes." "Fromm is Fromm a professional chess player." "Have him play against a hundred, a thousand guys." "Blindfolded, standing on one leg, at the bottom of the ocean, but I play chess, me not some machines with my name on them." "Get it?" "I'm going into town." "You weren't tailed?" "No way." "Who's your man in my group?" "No one." "I don't believe you." "Good." "You're an opportunist." "Everybody can't be a dissident superstar." "How's the hero doing?" "They let him out without his cardiologist now?" "He doesn't need one." "He'll put you to shame, superstar." "You know damn well that I'm going to beat him." "Me, the renegade, the traitor the petit-bourgeois idealist!" "You'll see when I'm the world champion," "Pravda will call it one more victory for Soviet chess." "You wanted to see me just to say all that crap?" "Have you seen Marina?" "Yes." "How is she?" "Fine, I think." "Didn't she say anything to you?" "Why doesn't she answer my letters any more?" "What have you done to her?" "Pavius..." "Marina wants a divorce." "Tell her to wait until the match is over." "Did they answer?" "Yes." "He won't hold out his hand?" "No." "Neither will he shake my hand?" "Absolutely." "I don't believe you." "They accepted to pay the $10,000 guarantee." "Are you happy?" "Is wrong..." "Something is wrong." "Calm, Pavius, the war hasn't begun." "It has been lasting for five years, since I went West." "Listen, Pavius, everything has been negotiated for months." "The world is watching, they have to behave." "They can do anything." "It's more sophisticated you believe something is coming, you get excited and Liebskind has already won." "They will never allow a renegade to win over Liebskind." "I'm going to raise hell." "That's what they're waiting for." "I don't care." "Order a press conference for tomorrow, 10 a.m." "What's going on?" "You've seen Tac-tac?" "Did you talk about Marina?" "Put your cigarette away, Gennadi lvanovitch." "But I'm not smoking, Akiva Israelovitch." "You're threatening to smoke." "In chess, threats are more serious than deeds." "You still enjoy beating me?" "I savour victory's sweetness, as you savour the bitterness of defeat." "Why did you come?" "I obey orders." "Check!" "Really, now!" "What's wrong?" "We have to inspect the theatre at eleven." "You go, I trust you." "Make sure everything conforms to the protocol you negotiated." "But... he..." "He increased the lights to 80, I'll decrease them if they dazzle me." "He wants heavier pieces." "He won't play any better with them." "But the cameras..., the setting-up..." "Totally unimportant." "I'm deaf." "Increible!" "Increible!" "I do not accept your conduct!" "I am incapable to understand to you!" "What do you live on?" "My friends' generosity." "You've been called an American agent..." "How much does an American agent earn?" "You consider yourself a dissident?" "No." "I'm an exile." "Weren't you a political activist?" "Of course." "Since the cradle." "As a pioneer I was censured for glorifying Stalin." "During Khruschev's time I was already a prankster." "What is a prankster?" "A free man." "Where I come from, some jokes are called "2 by 4"." "Two years in jail for listening, four years for telling them." "Seriously, you were a Communist Party member, Liebskind never was." "The party itself decides who joins and who doesn't." "In Lithuania you have to join." "That's how it is." "Everyone knows." "What about Liebskind?" "Ask him, but you'll have to shout, because he's deaf." "Why don't you shake his hand?" "Are you sure he wasn't ordered not to shake mine?" "Have you heard from your wife?" "I'd rather not talk about her." "I don't know anything." "I've had no news." "I fear the worst." "Let me go!" "No, comrade Protanazov." "Stay." "Ladies and Gentlemen you will be able to question for the first time a KGB agent." "I'm a journalist." "Yeah, I know." "For which newspaper?" "Say it, say it!" "The Red Army Cultural Journal." "Hi, Andrée." "Hi." "What floor?" "How are your end games?" "O.K." "You're broke?" "Yes, quite." "I could get you some exhibition matches." "I thought you might need me." "Think no more." "Fear makes you nasty, Pavius." "You're the expert on fear a real world champion." "You're afraid of me." "You won't get your revenge through me." "Bye." "And... good luck!" "Shut up." "That brings bad luck." "You don't need anyone for that." "He's a genius." "He's an alcoholic." "He had Liebskind beat until he cracked up." "He's an asshole." "I don't get you." "I don't need anyone to help me beat Liebskind." "You still refuse to adjourn the first game?" "Definitely." "Fromm will come back today, or we'll never see him again." "Fine." "In that case at exactly three o' clock I'll set the timer, and Grand Master Liebskind will make his first move." "If Grand Master Fromm does not arrive within one hour..." "Liebskind will remain the world champion." "The rules are very specific." "That's perfectly clear." "Very well." "We should have called the cops." "The cops would find him fast." "I don't need anyone to help me beat Liebskind." "Akiva!" "Hi!" "Feed him!" "He's hungry." "But it's black." "A black cat!" "They paid the guarantee?" "Yes." "He won't shake your hand." "Hurry up!" "A black cat." "He's flipped!" "Watch out Miller." "He eats Bolshevik mice." "Why is he telling me that?" "Gentlemen..." "...That's all." "Thank you." "Pavius," "I propose a draw." "Citizen, please address the Judge." "Please." "No scenes." "Is this game a draw?" "Yes." "By agreement, the first game is declared a draw at the thirty-fifth move." "He was in a strong position, why did he accept a draw?" "You forced him into it." "Also, it's his way of saying:" ""Old lion, I'll beat you when I feel like it."" "That's idiotic." "Aren't you afraid of me?" "No." "Why?" "We all destroy ourselves more or less." "The main thing is to enjoy it." "Right?" "What opening will he use?" "I'm not asking for your advice, I'm suggesting we bet on it." "Five hundred dollars?" "Five hundred dollars." "Your opponent is actually fairly limited." "He stood up to your favourite opening." "Now he'd like to beat you at your favourite defense." "So he'll play an English opening... and expect you to transpose." "But you won't transpose." "You'll come up with a totally unpublished and devilishly effective variation." "Tomorrow I'll use an 'English opening'." "He's never beaten me when I used that." "Liebskind stopped playing the 'classic English opening'." "He'll transpose and he'll use the 'Tartakover gambit' his favourite defense." "Exactly." "Then," "I'll castle on the queen's side... then..." "I play G4, H4, and boom!" "Look, an English opening." "Liebskind hasn't been up against one of them since..." "Wait, he'll play B7, B6 and transpose the Tartakover variation." "Transpose, or not transpose?" "Tartakover or not Tartakover?" "Knight E4." "He doesn't transpose." "Check!" "Grand Master Liebskind wins the second game." "Liebskind 1, Fromm 0." "You taught him a lesson in chess, Akiva Israelovitch." "On Sunday, I'll use an English opening." "That's vanity." "Fromm knows all the variations." "Akiva Israelovitch is right." "If he beats him with that Fromm will be demoralized." "Yes, but what if he loses?" "It would be a serious mistake." "Amen." "I have a perverse little variation in mind." "Tac Tac..." "Tac Tac," "Tac Tac." "Knight takes F6." "He has to." "And here's my invention." "This car bothers me." "Too confined, too noisy." "I want a boat." "A boat?" "A boat in the water, for crossing the lake, a sailboat." "Play." "Grand Master Fromm wins the third game." "Liebskind 1, Fromm 1." "I'm going to sleep." "Don't wake me." "I'm not hungry." "Akiva!" "Go to sleep now." "That's enough." "The heart is holding up, Henia." "Do you understand?" "Are you watching Miller?" "Day and night." "Even when I sleep." "The kid is clean." "Then, who is it?" "Nobody and you know it." "Stop being your own worst enemy!" "Pavius, please." "If it's not Miller, maybe it's you," "Mr. Felton, born Pzijebnstky!" "Look, we can break his French defense." "After bishop B5 he takes pawn D4 queen F6, and you're at a disadvantage." "And now..." "Queen C3 and check." "He takes a rook, and here's the deadly attack:" "Knight E4." "Simple?" "Simple?" "Not really." "It all depends on pawn D4." "But it's certainly elegant." "It's dangerous." "But it's very elegant." "I like it." "I love risks." "By agreement, the fourth game is declared a draw at the 39th move." "There are mikes." "I tell you this place is bugged." "Where?" "Tell me where?" "Instantly, without a moment's thought, he played rook G6." "We're being bugged or somebody talked!" "You're crazy, Pavius!" "You're being ridiculous!" "Be quiet!" "You don't know them!" "Pavius!" "There are no traitors, no microphones..." "I'll find them!" "Stop." "Everyone here is on your side." "No!" "That's not true!" "No." "I'm the one who'll be world champion." "Me, not you." "You'll never be." "We're leaving." "We're moving out." "Where to?" "That's your problem." "Deal with it." "May I introduce Mr. Dalcroze." "He's in charge of security in the Canton of Geneva." "He will be personally responsible for your safety and protection." "Unofficially, he is already responsible." "Thank you, Mr. Senator." "We've checked out everything." "There are no microphones." "You'll be quite safe." "My best men are at your disposal." "That'll do." "I know what you're thinking about." "Marina..." "I've stopped thinking of her." "It's hopeless." "They'll never let her come out." "She wants a divorce." "She's right." "It hurts quite a bit, that's all." "Tactac told you that?" "And you believed him?" "Mr. Referee, I protest." "My opponent's attitude is totally unacceptable." "There is no rule regarding punctuality." "He does it on purpose to disturb my playing." "I protest officially." "The grand jury will only consider protests submitted in writing." "I'll write it immediately." "Grand Master Fromm wins the fifth game." "Liebskind 1, Fromm 2." "The regimen is pretty tasteless, Akiva Israelovitch." "Tactac, please stop your insults and provocations." "Thank you." "Good evening." "Good evening." "I've asked officially that the game be annulled." "How dare you ask for the annulment of a game I played without consulting me?" "But you registered a protest!" "To make him apologize, to humiliate him." "Withdraw that ridiculous request." "The jury will reject it." "The game was in order." "Read this." ""We recommend official protest over opponent's inexcusable attitude." "Withdraw if he refuses to apologize." "We are sending Grand Master Fadenko and Professor..." "Polotin with verbal instructions."" ""A. Karupov." The Minister himself." "What Grand Master Fromm does is not against the rules." "I'm here unofficially." "The jury hasn't met yet." "But the Soviets feel that Grand Master Fromm's repeated late arrivals are meant to disturb his opponent's concentration." "They want the game annulled." "That's absurd." "To disturb your opponent, you have to be there." "But Fromm is not there." "It's ridiculous." "What does Liebskind's letter say?" "As far as I know, he demands that both players be present at the start of each game." "There's nothing in the rules about that." "Liebskind's demand has no legal basis, and you know it." "Still, the jury would appreciate if Grand Master Fromm would apologize to his opponent, as a gesture of appeasement." "Apologize!" "But it's unintentional!" "Unintentional but systematic." "Whose side are you on?" "The Soviets threaten to withdraw." "All right, I'll write your letter of apology!" "The bastards!" "I won't give them an excuse to run out on me." "Henia." "Akiva, will you eat something?" "No, Henia." "I'm not hungry." "You took your medicine, now you must eat something." "Henia!" "Well!" "I want you to know I didn't ask to come." "I know, but I'm glad to see you." "Well?" "Fromm is playing well." "His ideas are sound." "But he plays too fast." "Your game is a bit heavy." "Georgian Champagne:" "Too much sugar, not enough flavour." "They're worried." "Who's that." "A secret weapon." "Our orders are to help him in his assignment." "So, over there they think I need a secret weapon?" "Akiva, are you thirsty?" "Akiva, do you want some tea?" "Akiva, are you in pain?" "I'm afraid, Henia." "What if Akiva Liebskind wasn't Akiva Liebskind any more?" "Don't cry." "Dont cry..." "I'm here, I'm here." "My love." "Gentlemen, please." "Do you see what I see?" "Mate in seven moves." "He didn't see it." "That's unbelievable!" "Kick that man out!" "Get rid of him right now!" "Immediately!" "Just what is going on?" "You see that man in the front row?" "He's trying to get inside of me," "To take me over." "I can't concentrate any more." "He's hypnotizing me." "That's it, yes, he's hypnotizing me." "Throw him out, or I'm leaving!" "The rules are quite clear." "I'm here to see that they're obeyed." "I'm sorry I can only remove a member of the audience if both players request it." "Is that man disturbing you?" "To be honest, no." "I'm the one he's hypnotizing." "They want to kill me." "This is all ridiculous." "Pure fantasy from a sick mind." "Sharks, swine, murderer, bastard!" "Calm down, please." "Is that man part of your delegation?" "Professor Polotin is an eminent scientist." "He is an honorary member of our Federation." "He's there in the interest of science doing research necessary for his work." "The organizing committee has issued him an official pass." "I won't play while he's in the audience." "Please." "He's a parapsychologist." "To avoid interrupting the game, it will continue in a small room." "The audience will observe the match on the wall chess board." "We formally object to that." "It's against the rules." "Only the jury can make such a decision." "It's out of your realm." "As ChiefJudge, I'm responsible for the proper conduct of the match." "That's my duty!" "I take note of your protest." "But nothing can prevent my having this game played with the curtain lowered if I judge it necessary." "That's right." "Lower the iron curtain." "Perfect." "It'll be quite clear." "I might be able to convince the Professor to sit in the 4th row." "Stop!" "No!" "The iron curtain!" "I suggest that we continue the game by turning the table so that only Grand Master Liebskind faces the professor the honorary member of the Soviet Federation." "Because his presence does not disturb him at all." "Do you accept the suggestion made by Grand Master Felton?" "I'm here to play chess." "Do you agree?" "This is inadmissible." "I protest!" "Please, gentlemen, the game will continue." "Grand Master Liebskind wins the sixth game." "Liebskind 2, Fromm 2." "Now look." "What do you see?" "Mate in seven." "Right." "And here's what you played." "Those bastards!" "The damn parapsychologist!" "Calm down, I asked that the game be annulled." "It's ridiculous." "They'll come up with something else." "You'll see." "No, no, no..." "Not right now." "Puhl held out." "And they can't go after him." "If he goes, we go too... and they know it." "Now, stop playing with that thing." "This thing?" "Yes" "This thing... is a sceptre." "It's Liebskind's pen." "He left it on the table." "Return it." "No, you don't understand." "He didn't forget it." "He wanted to give it to me." "I'm sure." "I was ten years old when he came to Kovno for the championship." "After he won, he agreed to play a simultaneous game against the best players of the club." "I was the only one who beat him." "He was wonderful." "He asked for a return game." "As if I were a real pro, not a kid." "He won of course." "Then he said:" "Do you want one last game?" "I said "No..." "I want your secrets"." "He laughed." "For two hours he gave me a chess lesson." "To me!" "To me alone!" "I've forgotten none of it." "Who would forget that?" "Tomorrow, you'll buy one just like it... but in gold." "You see?" "A very, very beautiful one." "That way we'll be even." "Where could I have lost that damn pen?" "In the car?" "In the car, or else in the boat." "Come on, let's go and see." "Have you seen my pen?" "We'd like to talk to you." "Your attitude when Professor Polotin was expelled, your passivity, your silence, could be interpreted." "My silence is silent." "Interpret it however you like." " But Moscow..." " What Moscow?" "What?" "Has Moscow got another world champion?" "Forget Moscow!" "Find my pen!" "It's a gift, it always brought me luck." "You're beautiful, but will you bring me luck?" "Liebskind 2, Fromm 3." "Give me one." "If you start again now, you'll never stop." "Please..." "Propose a draw to my opponent." "Grand Master Fromm..." "Make him play." "Check." "Check." "Check." "Grand Master Liebskind wins the eighth game." "Liebskind 3, Fromm 3." "Twice, eh?" "First he sacrifices the rook, and now the queen." "His favourite gambit." "A poetic and eternal gambit." "The trap of desire caught in his trap of desire." "You feel humiliated, right?" "You're scared." "You're beginning to understand." "You're like me." "You're drunk." "Go to bed." "You have no excuses." "You played too fast, out of pride." "You've no excuses." "Now he'll slaughter you." "He loves blood." "He's merciless!" "I'm giving up." "That would really surprise me." "Pavius!" "Pavius!" "Feel better now?" "Yes." "Grand Master Fromm wins the ninth game." "Liebskind 3, Fromm 4." "You came to watch me lose?" "Watch me drop dead?" "Get out of here!" "Throw it away." "Please." "It's poison, Henia." "It's very good." "Henia..." "Why didn't you ever want to play chess with me?" "I'm not jealous." "You know very well you'd never let me win at chess." "Afterwards we'll go to Italy." "You always wanted to see Italy." "I'm not a good husband, Henia." "I never wanted any other." "At the university you loved a young mathematician." "A future professor, a scientist." "And look at me today." "Akiva, you're a great champion." "I play games." "I'm only a player, Henia." "The other one." "I'm all right." "This isn't the first time." "I'm going to sleep a while." "Don't worry." "The tenth game is adjourned at the forty-first move." "It will continue tomorrow at 4:00 P.M." "Pavius?" "He's ill." "Shit, shit and more shit!" "I'm sure they'd sooner make him drop dead than let me beat him." "What you want is to be world champion." "But I play to make them crazy, those bastards!" "How is he?" "He's sleeping." "I couldn't come back until tomorrow evening." "Let's go in." "Excuse me, Akiva Israelovitch." "This is Dr. Randelier." "We'd like him to examine you." "I'm perfectly fine." "I must insist." "Moscow wants an official denial." "Dr. Randelier is an eminent heart specialist." "Doctor, I have my own physician, Dr. Anton Heller." "My country's authorities didn't allow him to accompany me." "Don't be offended, but no doctor will examine me in his absence." "After that sealed move, he can't win anymore." "A draw is still possible." "Look" "Good, let's propose a draw." "Do you think Fromm is dumb enough to accept?" "He refuses all treatment." "He wants Heller." "Then we're in trouble." "They'll never let Heller out." "His children are in Israel." "Let's pray Fromm breaks his neck." "Why pray?" "It's obvious!" "We'll break his heart!" "We have the ideal weapon." "His wife!" "It's a risky scheme." "It might hurt our prestige." "We're in the West." "Imagine the scandal." "They'll never allow it." "I'm off to Moscow." "I'll see the Minister... or I'll go higher." "There's not enough time." "The game starts again at 4:00 P.M." "The next one is Thursday, the day after tomorrow." "I'll be back before Thursday." "It's the only solution, and they'll go along with it." "It's a beautiful move." "Thanks." "Grand Master Fromm wins the tenth game." "Liebskind 3, Fromm 5." "There." "Rest up, try to sleep." "I'll be back tomorrow." "I've left you Pavius' telephone number." "Call him when you want to." "Get out." "Could we speak to you?" "Leave me alone!" "Anton!" "Akiva you've worked a miracle!" "They took long enough to understand." "Pavius is waiting for you." "You're lying." "I know you brought me here to make him lose the match you're counting on the impact of the surprise." "No." "Surprise isn't essential." "It's just preferable." "Get out!" "You'll go." "You need him." "And you have no choice." "Neither escape nor suicide would solve the problem." "I hate you." "You're right." "Anton..." "are you listening to me?" "Take it easy, Akiva." "He won't be able to play tomorrow." "He's not up to it." "I'll need some drugs." "Get a Swiss doctor to sign the prescription." "Listen to me, Anton." "Akiva, it's serious." "I know." "I can feel it." "I don't want to live like a vegetable for ten years." "I want ten days." "Just ten days but with all my wits about me." "Understand?" "I don't even know if I can save you." "I don't give a damn!" "Cured or dead, I want to beat that little jerk." "Now I know how." "I've got him figured out." "Akiva, I'm the one who gives orders now." "What do you think?" "You Zionist bastard" "You think I refused treatment just for your sake?" "That I got you out so you'd preach to me?" "You'll do what I tell you." "You are the only one who can do it." "That's why you're here." "What you're asking is unworthy of a friend." "I want ten days." "I want to beat that kid." "It's my life!" "And it's my carcass!" "It may be too late." "It's not too late." "I know I can beat him." "Anton!" "Akiva, they didn't teach me to work miracles." "I'll need some more supplies." "Will he be able to play?" "If he tolerates the treatment in three days." "He'll be able to create an illusion, but not for long." "At most, ten days." "The game must be postponed." "Out of the question." "Liebskind's illness must remain a total secret." "It's Fromm who should ask for the postponement of the game." "That's the beauty of the plan." "The "heart-breaker"." "Tac Tac." "Thank you for coming, Colonel." "She's locked herself in a room." "You're complicating a simple operation." "She'll crack, that's certain." "But I don't know when." "One should never leave anything to chance." "Never." "We'll take action at noon." "Thanks." "Madame Fromm?" "Federal Police." "You have nothing to fear." "We're here to help you, believe me." "We heard from reliable sources that your life is in danger." "We're taking your under our protective custody." "Where are you taking me?" "Judge Dombert has prepared a request for political asylum." "It's a legal formality, but it's essential." "Where are you taking me?" "To your husband, it's safe there." "We're already protecting him." "Oh, no." "Protect me here." "In this room." "That's impossible." "Come, look." "Come on, Madame Fromm." "See those roofs?" "I'd have to place armed men on each one." "And around the clock." "I don't have the personnel." "They don't have to kill me, you know." "You're all alike." "Promise... swear to me that I won't see him before the game is over." "Think hard, Madame Fromm." "If they warned us, what's to keep them from alerting the press and your husband?" "They may already have done that." "Trust us." "They've won." "It all works out." "Pavius will never forgive me." "Come on, comrades, let's go." "Tonight I'll be world champion." "An hour before the match." "That's outrageous." "We were just about to leave." "Well..." "All right..." "Goodbye and thank you." "They asked for a postponement of the game." "Have faith, Pavius." "Do you love me?" "Tell me again." "You're here." "Now I feel strong." "I'll be the world champion." "Afterwards we'll have a child." "Don't be sad anymore." "Sad..." "Depressive and asocial is what they said at the hospital." "How long were you in there?" "One year... twenty-seven days... and eight hours." "They wanted me to divorce you, but I didn't want to." "I..." "I'm not insane." "No." "Of course you're not." "Don't be sad anymore." "Everything will be fine." "How about a Ruy Lopez Opening?" "I don't know." "I wasn't thinking about that." "It won't do." "It should be some rare, sophisticated opening." "Pushkin... or Goethe..." "Do what you want, Akiva." "But your intuition, Henia." "I don't know anymore." "You're right." "I need a variant from long ago." "A forgotten pearl." "Stop it, Akiva!" "It's too late." "Pretend, Henia." "One always has to pretend." "What kind of weird opening is that?" "It's a museum piece." "The Ponziani." "They sweated, the bastards!" "Grand Master Liebskind wins the eleventh game." "Liebskind 4, Fromm 5." "Akiva, give up the tournament." "Don't give me orders." "Look at yourself." "Give me the injection." "I'll make it." "Let him." "He should abandon." "He's going to die." "Let him at least die in peace." "Check." "Check!" "Mate." "Mate!" "Grand Master Liebskind wins the twelfth game." "Liebskind 5, Fromm 5." "Anton, I'm not feeling well at all." "Let him through." "Please." "Let him through!" "Good, Pavius." "You're getting nasty again." "You'll beat him." "Pavius... come with me." "What's going on?" "Grand Master Liebskind is in the hospital."
