This is a nice documentary by Davide Fasolo, Chess Me Out.  It's definitely worth checking out.

I'm not sure if this has been posted on this site before, but if so maybe someone new will see this. 

 

Has anyone seen this documentary?  Also, does anyone know of any other chess documentaries out there that are worth watching?

There are quite a few on the google video section. The only reason i didn't watch this one teal, is because it requires quicktime to play it, and i won't have quicktime on my pc. I can't open it with anything else.

Hmm, does this work for you: http://www.tubechess.com/index.php?id=107

It's flash.

 

Thats great, thanks teal, am watching it now

Thanks for the link.  The documentary was interesting and the website has some other interesting videos too.

 

thx again 

I liked the part where the gentleman said: The beauty of chess is, that its not only a sport there is an aesthectic feeling when you play - a 6 year old and a 60 year old can still share the same joy

 

Thanks for sharing that teal, i really enjoyed watching that clip. 

 

No prob. I'm glad you liked it. I really liked the parts with Karpov.

I really only watched this to see and hear Karpov, but OMG, how beautiful is Alexandra Kosteniuk. I think I'm in love :B

A cool flick, worth watching.

The Great Chess Movie

Yeah, i watched alot of chess docomantaries and movies about a year ago, and Chess me Out was one of them, and i really liked it.

You should also check out My Brilliant Brain with GM Susan Polgar, that one is really awesome. I also like the new Bobby Fischer against the World. And the movies Searching for Bobby Fischer and Queen to Move are nice to.

Two very nice choices, thank you, both. These are great for when my brain is too tired to calculate but I still want to stuff more chess into it. :B
