> *"When chess grips Moscow, love becomes a distraction — and sanity takes second place to checkmate."* This Soviet silent gem turns obsession into high art. As a global chess tournament descends on 1925 Moscow, the city falls victim to "chess fever": - Cab drivers study boards instead of roads - Firemen abandon hoses for endgames - [spoiler]Newborns inherit miniature chess sets[/spoiler] **The Brutal Brilliance:** [spoiler]Fenia’s wedding plans unravel as her fiancé prioritizes Capablanca’s games over their life: 1. He misses their engagement photo for tournament analysis 2. Bridal veils are replaced with pinned chess diagrams 3. During vows, he shouts *"Checkmate!"* at thin air Her breaking point? A shattered board raining pieces like fractured dreams. The arrival of real grandmasters (Capablanca, Lasker) briefly restores order — but obsession leaves scars no victory can heal.[/spoiler] **Technical Mastery:** - **Choreographed chaos**: Crowds move like living pawn formations - **Visual wit**: [spoiler]Clock hands become knights, streets transform into checkered battlefields[/spoiler] - **Meta-commentary**: Legendary player cameos mirror our own madness **Why It Resonates:** Beyond comedy, it dissects passion’s dark edge — how devotion can erase love, duty, and identity. The silence screams louder than dialogue ever could. **Final Move:** ★★★★☆ — A flawed but ferocious study of obsession’s cost. That final smashed board? It echoes long after the screen fades.
