Synopsis
Plotted like a chess match, THE DEFENSE is a heavily ironic novel about a grandmaster who lives only for chess. Finally, he goes mad and, in order to regain his sanity, he must renounce the game. Unable to do so, he plays chess endlessly in his head until the final move, which is his death: the world is nothing but a game of chess. THE DEFENSE is perhaps the most intricate of Nabokov's "game" novels.
