Story: Fascinating story of the 1978 World Chess Championship between the Soviet Communist Partys protege, Anatoly Karpov and the traitor and Soviet defector, Viktor Korchnoi. One of those instances in life where truth is stranger than fiction.

1978 - Anatoly Karpov is the World Chess Champion having won the crown back from Bobby Fischer without playing a match. A loyal member of the Communist Party and a personal friend of the Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, Karpov is the epitome of the younger Soviet New Man. Viktor Korchnoi is a survivor from the siege of Leningrad - cantankerous, free-spirited, and a harsh critic of the Soviet regime who claimed political asylum in Holland in 1976. Two years after his defection, Korchnoi is challenging Karpov for the crown in the 1978 World Championship in Baguio City, The Philippines. What happened during that summer in 1978 is one of the most incredible sporting stories that has never been fully told until now. Both men were bitter personal rivals: Karpov is a legendary sports personality of the Soviet Union with a chauffeur-driven Mercedes, Moscow apartment and country dacha; whereas Korchnoi is a traitor to Russia - airbrushed from Soviet history and known only as The Contestant. As the players fought on the chess board, their teams fought a war of espionage even John Le Carre would struggle to invent. Parapsychologists, thought waves, flag wars, mirrored sunglasses, coded yoghurts, KGB agents, corruption, and a sect of Eastern mystics wanted for murder, were just some of the events that overtook chess in this epic world championship event. Younger by over twenty years, Karpov led by 5 wins to 2 with the Champion being the first to win 6 games. But then the unthinkable happened - Korchnoi won three games in quick succession to level at 5 wins each. The Soviet Ice Man had begun to melt.
