An annoyingly sloppy thriller which symbolically employs not the title game, but a chess match. Carmichael is an astronomy professor working on a missile project. Jurgens, a world chess champ from an Iron Curtain country, heads a sinister group which wants to get information about the
missile project. The wily Carmichael foils the villains at every turn.
