The Great Chess Movie
In this Gilles Carle feature documentary on the game of chess, the international chess match is cast as a classic Western shoot-out.

Chess aficionados Camille Coudari and Fernando Arrabal analyze the personalities and strategies of the players and comment on the interplay of politics and chess.
