This is priceless! Lately I've started learning how to play chess (don't expect me to be good for a while), & only now can I really appreciate such a film as this. Wonderful stuff.

@TheAlMaAri Thanks for the comments. Chess is a great game. But it is so serious it is fun to make fun of it. Glad you enjoyed it. It did win some awards in its life.

"White removes the black queen from the board. This is called cheating."

[richard321]

btw, i don't think this video is bad or anything. In fact it's one of my favorites. 5 stars =)

[richard321]

that was an illegal castling.. the king wasn't in his starting square

[wedgeworld1701]

If your are going to quote "rules" then I think you missed the point. Remember this movie contains the words "this is called, Cheating".

[richard321]

yes, it makes sense, but after the cheating move (queen's removal) the king was in his starting square and on the next scene he wasn't and nobody moved him. This is what i meant :)

also i've just noticed that the pieces were arranged incorrectly in the cheating scene (E8 should be a white square)

[wedgeworld1701]

I am glad you liked it. I made it so long ago I forgot that we moved all those pieces around to make the shots work. Plus the script was written without any regard for a true game. You should see the original we made 10 years prior on super 8, all shot from one angle, I should post it really.

@wedgeworld1701 Hey, it's been 2 years since I posted my comments and I just wanted to apologize for being annoying. I don't know why I posted such comments, this video just rocks! Sorry. :)
