Well as an imitation of Bruce Pandolfini, Josh Watkins's coach, it sucked, considering Pando is Italian.

Still an entertaining movie. Chess doesn't get much time on the big screen. I'm just happy it did well.

I'll have to watch that one. Has anybody seen Knight Moves? It stars Christopher Lambert as a GM in the frame for murdering his lover - some well cheesy lines in it, but an entertaining thriller nonetheless.

Haven't seen knight games, i'll see if it's file shareable.


So, can anyone suggest something else for me to try and download ??

Something chessy would help, but not necessary.

theres an old black and white im trying to remember where a knight is on the verge of dying, and challenges death to a game of chess. Death ends up finding out his tactics in a confession booth(the sly bastard) and inevitably beats the knight. does anyone remember the name of this movie?
another half decent movie I cant remember the title of is one that portrays Kasparov battling Big Blue.

Yup! I thought your pertinenece to finding a black homeless guy to teach you chess, as if we can't, quite impertinent. Almost racist! So pertinent to this forum? Pertinent to any!

Have you actually watched the film, or are you just letting some perverse Politically correct notion guide your hands over the keyboard ?

You can get it on eMule, I just checked (dual french and eng subs thang), just downloading it now (lost my copy years ago). I found that BF movie too, so starting a download for that.

What about The Mystery of Chessboxing AKA Ninja Checkmate? 🙂
