The chess professionals Frederick Trumper (USA) and Anatoly Sergievsky (Russia) face each other at a world championship during the Cold War. Trumper is accompanied by Florence Vassy, ​​Sergievsky by officer Molokov. Annoyed by Trumper's whims, Vassy begins an affair with Sergievsky, who eventually wins the tournament and seizes the opportunity to stay in the West. While defending his title in Bangkok, Sergievsky meets the new Russian challenger, whose companion, again Officer Molokov, suggests a spicy deal in exchange for a win. Trumper is now following the action as a TV commentator and unexpectedly comes to the aid of his former rival.

Shortly after the separation of the legendary Popquartetts ABBA the frontmen Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus produce mid-1980s with her lyricist Tim Rice, world famous for collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber, the political thriller Chess , in which the game of chess as a cipher is used for world politics, human relations, Love, jealousy and corruption. Musically, the energy of this generation is reflected in a sparkling mix of Broadway sound, rock songs, choirs and Euro-Pop, of which the ballad I know him so well and the dance hit One Night in Bangkok also stormed the charts outside the musical stages .
