And perhaps also influenced by Nabokov's chess novel, The Defense
a novel about patterning paranoia.....and self-entrapment mentally.

his passion for the game turns to sick paranoia.
This could be seen as a critical movie about the chess scene but there's
more to it. Ganz (exceptional) plays a man who's trapped in his own dream
world and finally succumbs to it
