Publisher's Summary

España, 1934. Diego Padilla, campeón de ajedrez, conoce a la periodista francesa Marianne Latour. La guerra civil está a punto de estallar, y en ese contexto de agitación el amor encuentra a los dos jóvenes. Juntos tendrán una hija y vivirán en Madrid hasta que la violencia y la miseria los em­pujen al exilio a una Francia ocupada. Allí, la par­tida tomará otro rumbo: Diego se enfrentará a la acusación de espionaje por parte de los nazis y a un brutal encarcelamiento. 

El jugador de ajedrez cuenta en primera persona la historia de Diego Padilla, traicionado, arranca­do de su familia, cuya supervivencia en la reclu­sión se aferra a la esperanza, a la fuerza del amor y a la afición de un coronel nazi por el ajedrez.
