What is the plot of the musical?
Although there are several different versions of the musical, the basic plot remains the same. The very, very basic plot is that two men are competing in a chess tournament that is also a symbol for the greater struggle between the US and the USSR in the Cold War. In addition, they are both fighting over a woman. Here is a much more detailed plot, however: It is the height of the Cold War between the US and the USSR. Like any competition, the World Chess Championships are just another battlefield in the struggle. The competitors are The American/Freddie and The Russian/Anatoly (in the original concept album, the two characters were not named and were only referred to by their nationalities). The American/Freddie travels to Merano (Bangkok in the American version), where the championship is to be held, along with his lover and second, Florence. Florence was born in Hungary and fled to England when the Soviets invaded her country. The Russian/Anatoly brings a contingent of KGB agents and his "handler," Molotov. Over the course of the tournament, The American/Freddie plays badly and resorts to cheap tricks and dramatics to try and turn the game in his favor. This leads to political tensions and a meeting is set up in order to attempt and fix things. However, The American/Freddie is late and The Russian/Anatoly and Florence talk and begin to fall in love. When The American/Freddie walks in on this, he and Florence argue and break up. The tournament continues, and The American/Freddie loses. After winning, The Russian/Anatoly defects to the West and gets together with Florence. This ends the first act. In some versions, however, the tournament is not over at this point and the second act is merely a continuation of the same tournament rather than a separate one. The second act is set a year later at the next Championships in Bangkok (Budapest in the American version). The Russian/Anatoly is playing for the West and the Soviets have an extremely loyal, though not particularly talented, player. The American/Freddie is reporting on the event (at least in the versions where it is not a continuation of the first tournament). Tensions are evident between The Russian/Anatoly, especially when Molotov brings in The Russian/Anatoly's wife in order to convince him to return to Russia. Molotov and The American/Freddie (and sometimes a CIA agent as well) are colluding to make The Russian/Anatoly lose the tournament. The approach both him and Florence and offer them various things they want in exchange for his loss. Whether or not The Russian/Anatoly loses the tournament varies wildly, but in the most recent version he wins and then returns to the Soviet Union. The American/Freddie fails in his attempts to reunite with Florence. The end.
