Fight Club / Chess Club
The guys at Chessbase seem to have discovered Youtube. Suddenly they publish all kinds of articles with chess videos. I do not intend to constantly copy their articles with videos about chess, but the one they mentioned today is simply too good not to show here as well. (And here, under the little screen, you can 'afterwards talk about the movie'!) The video is quite a good parody on one of my favorite movies: Fight Club (1999, David Fincher) with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. Here the parody:
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms. Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools. Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013. As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
Peter's first book The Chess Revolution is out now!
