you for the fabric!

Come, tag along on our footpath

in sunny Merano,

flourishing Merano,

making your body healthy!

Our healthy baths, our clear air,

our proud chess union.

Come to our laid table

for a short second.

Once in a while our Lords hand

wants to bless our Merano

The Rose of the Alps, Merano,

she suddenly prepares herself.

And is ready to praise the aristocracy,

the press and nobles watch

the ceremony.

The city is filled by music.

Our own wine

and chess game.

What a hotel! Everything has

a price in our paradise,

everything has a taste of success!

Happy and blissful,

let off some steam,

and turn the tap!.

Go on the merry-go-round!

You should be sensual

tonight

What a clown. Hes mad.

Trust me, Anatoly,

hell end up in an asylum.

The problem is that it isnt possible

to analyze his technique.

Yes, you cant predict his next move.

In addition to that, hes an a**hole.

A completely brilliant a**hole.

Hes a spoiled aristocrat.

Yes, a man who has lost his senses.

Hes afraid.

Hes a shadow of his former self,

so your task will be easy.

Bullshit! Do you always

believe what you hear?

Cheap propaganda.

My friend, take it easy,

we trust you.

You know what we ask of you.

You ask that I accept the lies

you and the Party have spread

about the man

who made chess into an art

and created a new theory.

If I had his genius.

Dont get me wrong,

we know his story,

but how are his tactics?

Everyone knows

that someone will win,

and someone will die..

What empty rhetoric.

Sasha, I will win.

The responsibility lies on me.

You think thats enough?

The whole world is watching,

and it concerns our people.

Youre not alone.

Oh, stop preaching the Partys agenda.

If I were to lose, then, dear Comrade,.

..Im the one who gets the blame.

Tomorrow, everything is at stake.

Then nothing must go wrong.

You embarrass your only friend,

the only friend that you have left.

So Ill humiliated.

Treated like sh*t.

Ive put up with this for eight years,

now it is enough!

But theyre Communists!

They should be able to take a joke.

Don't you always criticize them?

Yes, but there is a time

for everything!

Ha! You, who always talked

about the truth.

Yes, but there is a time

for everything!

Fall of 56, Hungary is rising.

Fall of 56, Hungary is rising.

You, who have always supported

every attack against the Reds.

The ones who unapologetically..

..coldheartedly crushed your childhood.

Do you think the oppression

has lessened in 30 years?

Fall of 56, Hungary is taking up arms.

Fall of 56, Hungary is burning

It was a quarter past seven

the evening of the fourth of November.

Daddy poured cabbage soup on my plate.
