Description

In 1930s British India, a humble servant learns the art of chaturanga, the ancient Eastern ancestor of chess.

His natural talent soon catches the attention of the maharaja, who introduces him to the Western version of the game.

Brought to England as the prince's pawn, Malik becomes a chess legend, winning the world championship and humiliating the British colonialists.

His skills as a refined strategist eventually drag him into a strange game of warfare with far-reaching consequences.
