Nations Gambit

When the Prime Minister is kidnapped and placed in a glass cage outside the Norwegian Parliament, with a bomb strapped around his neck, Norway is turned upside down. The Prime Minister can be saved through a game of chess — but for every piece lost, a human life will also be taken. The terrorist makes the first move, and the clock starts counting down from 24 hours. The game is on.
