Per tournament rules, Mansky is the only eligible substitute for Konigsberg, as Mansky was the last person to beat him Konigsberg was found dead by Soviet poisoning. He is told he will have to compete in a chess tournament against Alexander Gavrylov in the Polish capital, Warsaw as Konigsberg, the earstwhile American contender, has died. He has some part to play in the winning of the Cold War. We learn that Mansky is a genius who defeated Konigsberg twenty years before but has an unpredictable temperament. He wakes up in a safe room in the US Embassy, where their conversations are secure, and meets Agent Novak, who leads the operation. His agent kidnappers take him on board a plane, drugged.
