He is deeply worried, as much for his young, spirited daughter as for himself.
Meanwhile, he is preoccupied by two new patients: Anna Petrovna, the society beauty plagued by nightmares with whom he is steadily and inappropriately falling in love, and the brilliant but fragile chess genius, Avrom Rozental, who, on the verge of a complete breakdown, must now play in the most important tournament of his life.
