Shadows Over The Chess Board...

In a quiet corner of the city, Alexei, a young chess prodigy, becomes fascinated by Mikhail Tal, the legendary "Magician of Riga." His admiration turns into obsession when he discovers a dusty old chessboard in an antique shop. The board becomes alive, revealing Tal's triumphs and his demons, such as the weight of sacrifice, the darkness of obsession, and the haunting solitude of a man who gave everything for the game. As Alexei faces opponents who feel more myth than man, he wonders if he is chasing greatness or being hunted by it. The game of kings and a legacy of shadows is a tale of kings and the boy who must decide how far he's willing to go to become a legend.
