that would be soooo much fun... two of my favorite pastimes, chess and movies ... i'd love to see a movie set and watch how it is done ... and of course always interested in chess esp in movies since it's hardly ever considered as a small part even ... but living 2,000 miles away or so wasn't much of a chance for just 'stopping by' lol

petrosianic -- ALWAYS good question lol ... sometimes it's really embarrassing ... and honestly, it wouldn't be that difficult ... you could even use a game played by a couple GMs  ... i think you can find quite a few to choose from on this site even ;) and can use some of that way-cool chess-lingo like "Schliemann Defence", "Averbackh Variation", or "Sicilian Defence, Accelerated Fianchetto, Maroczy bind, 5...Bg7" ...

I would love to come down and beat up on you guys ;)

unfortunately, I am to young and live too far away

Cant wait til Sunday!

AND that's why we're there Petro - to try and make the chess as authentic as possible ...

But it should be noted, they filmed some chess scenes without us (against our advice ) so if those scenes aren't %100 authentic, don't hold it againat us...

A chess movie that sounds interesting. If it can be something in the kind of Searching for Bobby Fischer it would be cool. I'll follow that closely.

yes, they are shooting two different tournaments, one on sat, one on sun. you can come to either.

Is this both Saturday and Sunday? I'm a little confused.

will the actors make legal moves?

A real chess player would forget he's in a movie while playing the game.

I wish I lived in L.A.!

i am not allowed to say yet, pdela, but those who come will find out :)

so who stars the film? denzel washington?

Moved away from LA a couple years back. Would have been fun! And with the two of you involved there is a good chance the director will know where the white square goes.
