Dangerous Moves Page #4

The grand jury can only accept

your complaint in written form.

I'll draw it up right now.

Grandmaster Fromm wins Game 5.

Liebskind 1, Fromm 2.

Not enough salt in your diet,

Akiva Israelovitch.

Enough of your insolence

and needling.

Good evening.

I officially requested

that the name be nullified.

How dare you request to nullify

a match without consulting me!

But you yourself protested.

So he would apologize

and be humiliated.

Withdraw this ridiculous request.

The jury will reject it.

The name was in accord with the rules.

Read that.

"We recommend an official protest...

on grounds of opponent's

intolerable attitude.

Withdraw if he refuses to apologize.

Have sent Grandmaster Fadenko

and Professor Polotin...

with verbal instructions.

Antonin Karapov."

The minister himself.

What Grandmaster Fromm is doing

is not against the rules.

Listen, I'm here unofficially.

The jury hasn't convened yet.

The Soviets think

that Fromm's repeated tardiness...

is deliberately calculated to destroy

his opponent's concentration.

They want the name nullified.

That's absurd! To disturb your opponent,

you must be present...

and Fromm was not there.

This is ridiculous.

What does Liebskind's letter say?

To my knowledge,

he demands that the two players...

arrive at the same time

at the beginning of each name.

That's not stipulated

anywhere in the protocol.

Liebskind's demand has no legal basis,

and you know it.

The jury would still appreciate it

if Fromm granted this request...

and, as a gesture of appeasement,

he apologized to his opponent.

- But it's unintentional.

- Unintentional but systematic.

- Whose side are you on?

- The Soviets threaten to withdraw.

I'll write your letter of apology.

The bastards!

I won't give them

an excuse to run out on me.

Akiva, eat something.

No, Henia. I'm not hungry.

You took your medication.

You have to eat something.

Well?

I want you to know

that I didn't ask to come.

I know. But I'm glad to see you.

Well?

Fromm plays well.

Good strategy,

but he moves too quickly.

Your name's a little heavy-handed.

Like Georgian champagne.

Too much sugar and not enough body.

They're worried.

Who's that?

A secret weapon.

You are to cooperate.

So they think I need a secret weapon.

Akiva, are you thirsty?

Do you want some tea?

Are you in pain?

I'm afraid, Henia.

What if Akiva Liebskind

is no longer Akiva Liebskind?

Don't cry.

Don't cry. I'm here.

Gentlemen, if you please.

Do you see what I see?

Mate in seven moves.

He didn't notice. Incredible.

Have that man removed.

Remove that man immediately!

What is it?

That man there, in the first row.

He's trying to control me.
