Stefan Zweig: SchachnovelleAuf einem Passagierdampfer, auf der Passage von New York nach Buenos Aires, kommt es zu einer außergewöhnlichen Konfrontation: Der amtierende Schachweltmeister Mirko Czentovic, ein derber, unsensibler Mensch, dessen Inselbegabung für Schach alleine und verloren in charakterlicher Ödnis liegt, tritt auf Veranlassung weiterer Passagiere gegen den geheimnisvollen, sensiblen Österreicher Dr. B. an. - Und dieser gewinnt mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit und Eleganz gegen den Großmeister. Doch woher hat B. seine Schachkunst? Es ist ein dunkles Geheimnis, das er in sich trägt, und das sich im Verlauf des weiteren Spiels bitter Bahn bricht.Die Schachnovelle erschien 1942, kurz vor Stefan Zweigs Tod (am 23. Februar 1942) im brasilianischen Petrópolis.
