Have you seen the Geico ad asking "Can you make chess on TV interesting?" using the "famous"  Spanish speaking soccer(football) announcer? It's pretty funny.

I'm always amazed at how sloppy chess is portrayed on TV and in films.Cry

@ Trysts - I remember an episode of "Monk" which featured the show's obsessive/compulsive detective investigating a fictional chess Grandmaster (apparently the best in the worldLaughing). They of course end up playing a game .... The Grandmaster sits at the board with the White pieces, glares at Monk and says "your move" - Doh!Tongue out
