'Success by design is infinitely better than a win by chance.'

Initially resentful Vasu begins to gradually understand his master's mettle.

Over eight years master and student come to love and respect each other but the two conditions remain unbroken - until Vasu confronts and provokes the old man. Meanwhile their hard work and strategy pay off: Vasu qualifies for the World Chess Championship. But can he make it all the way without his master by his side? Inspiring moving and mercurial The Last Gambit is a beautiful coming-of-age tale in a uniquely Indian context.
