Luzhin is a lonely boy who finds in chess an order in which to take refuge from an unhappy adolescence. His career as a champion turns the board into an obsession that consumes him, and the remedy he had found against the world's disorder ends up turning against him, in a plot of correspondences as measured as a game.
