What Schachnovelle is
Vienna, spring 1938. Police sirens howl through empty streets, their beams flashing off a chess piece left on a windowsill. A lawyer refuses to betray his network, so the Gestapo locks him in darkness and waits for collapse. A dog-eared book becomes his only move—then his last one.
