The documentary, also mentioned on IMDB, was created by Davide Fasolo. In an interview he declared that the idea to make it was born almost by accident.

Until then I had never worked in video and/or documentaries. At the time when the Chess Olympiad in Turin was going to take place, a friend of mine (Anna Recalde Miranda) invited me to participate in a documentary about chess.

It is a unique world, very fascinating. A world united by a common language and at the same time by people who come from all over the world, a world of migrant tournaments around the world and at the same time a world fixed on a chessboard.
