In the June 4 New Yorker  there is an article on chess players. The article
quotes  British Chess magazine which lamented the "alarming number" of
real-life chess players who have killed themselves by jumping from windows or
bridges. The New Yorker  article mentions the motion picture "The Luzhin
Defence," the film version of Nabokov's l930 novel.
