chess in Russian literature

Tue Sep 19 00:36:20 UTC 2006

Good afternoon!

     Can anyone suggest works in Russian fiction or film which weave the game of
chess literally, figuratively or both into the fabric of the work through plot,
characterization, structure, etc. etc? I am aware of Nabokov's contributions in
this regard. Any other ideas? Please reply OFFLIST to tpolowy at email.arizona.edu

     Many thanks! --
