my idea for a perfect chess movie

For awhile ive been playing chess. I know there are movies out there about chess like finding bobby fischer or so called chess movies. And i got to thinking, since there was a documentary about how kasparov played against deep blue and how computers are becomming more predominate in the chess world have strengths up to 3000.

I was thinking that there should be a chess movie set in the near future where a artificialized computer called houdini 9.0 has wrecked havoc in the chess world where nobody has beaten this computer, well hidden in the world there is this talented like child, with the skills of bobby fischer, magnus carlsen, and gary kasparov comes up in the world and challenges this artificial life form of a computer.

So what do you guys think would you watch this movie :)

Actually im talking about something not old fashioned but something like a cross between the fifth element, star trek and tron. Where everything is futuristic.

"Computer Chess" is about computers playing computers like "Citizen Kane" is about a snow sled, you nincompoop.

They are making a movie about Bobby Fischer.  I believe Toby Maguire from spiderman is heading it up.  You're suggestion for a movie in the OP sounds interesting, I'd definitely watch.

Horrible horrible for a movie, a movie thats a miscast by that idiot tobey mcguire

Don't tell me what a movie you haven't seen is about.

Does it have exploding cars?  And guys flying back toward the camera?  It's gonna need exploding cars.  Lots of em.

Citizen Kane is about a snow sled?

Make sure all his peers ridicule him and that his teachers and parents assure him he'll never amount to anything in the future. 

Then, secretly, he steals away to his private chess lab he's made in his room. Day by day he practices.

He gets to the point where he's about to give up and then suddenly has a breakthrough.

It's enough to fuel the motivational fire within him propelling him toward learning all the most effective anti-computer techniques that worked to beat the computers of the past.

There are bets available once news of this wonderkind leak and he becomes the great human hope.

Nobody really thinks it's possible. They think he's just a joke.

After all, he's not titled, he's not played in any fancy pants recognized OTB tournaments and nobody's heard of him.

Except for one reclusive older grandmaster who faded from the mainstream many years ago and is secretly mentoring him into the one chess player in the world who can beat this computer beast.

Then he meets a girl who also believes in him (the only one he's ever meant who doesn't think of him as just some geek freak).  And together they learn of the delights of young love and the power of zugzwang.  But unfortunately his landlord (who's a big meanie!) finds out about the damage to the building's wiring that his private chess lab is causing and orders our hero to shut it down.  So the prodigy shoots the landlord, and him and his girlfriend go on the lam...and head toward Iceland.

Yes! And Iceland is where the Machine Vs. Man battle will be held.

Will the unbeatable computer encounter something its programmer didn't know about zugzwang?...

Rosebud

So now it's about an ale?  This just gets more and more confusing.

I watched "Computer Chess Competition" today.

And I gotta say while the film had it's heights (like the Backyard Professor guest-starring), it was mostly very, very strange and I'd say from the 4 Chess-Movies I watched so far it was clearly the worst.

Main reason why I didn't like it was how depressing it was. The main-character was a depressed nerd who was very hard to emphatize with. Then there was this guy who didn't have a room and slept on the floor. Then these strange people from the self-help-group or whatever that was.

The computers and the chess stuff looked realistic though. The scenes where the one engine refused to recapture the queen in a queens trade and they for a time discussed that it maybe had some other brilliant idea until they realized, no there's nothing, it's simply queen down. Or where the other engine went for a perpetual check-draw instead of trading queens and promoting the pawn looked like very imaginable bug/bad-programming.

Ultimately, everything is about ale unless its about whiskey, wine, and women.

And this was supposed to be about chess?!  Holy crap.

I thought that was weadin', witin' and withmetic...

And guns, of course. Like Taxi Driver. 

?

Really?
