What's that old one called? The Luzhin Defence? I heard it was good. Haven't read it though.

Luzhin, though as a movie it was just so-so. When I read it way back when I thought it was excellent.

I read that the movie wasn't faithful to the book. In the book, his suicide was because the defense he invented didn't work. In the movie it did work. Movies should be more accurate.
