I'll never forget this movie. Full of intrigue and suspense.
The main reviewer has a typo, he managed to steal a book on World Championship Chess Games with just the notations, (The Moves)regarding the games. As he was locked up, a prisoner, that was the only mental stimulation he had.
Possible spoilers: He was so excited, after stealing the book from a Nazi Officers coat pocket, but he was devastated when he opened the book in his cell, he had thought it was a novel, instead it was on chess, a game he didn't really enjoy. However he became the equivalent of a Grand Master of the game after studying all the games in the book, in secret, hiding it from his captors. I'm not saying anymore except that this movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time!
