I enjoyed that.

Reminds me and my various conversations with potential datees.

Though the wrong color being in the right hand square did bug me.

Thanks for the link.

Good film, but it would have been better if they had used a standard tournament
chess set.

A very nice film. I hope everybody watches it.

A beautiful lady plays chess with several dates, hoping to find a
potential mate. I am so sorry she did not put me to this test.

Her first opponent has a nice bright smile, but his moves on the board
show he is really stupid and she ditches him.

One by one she dispatches her opponents until she finds the man who
can best her. Again, it is too bad she did not play against me.

Chess players will be distracted by the fact that the chess board is
often sent up wrong, with the black square in the right corner, and
the moves are very weak. One game starts 1. Nc3 e6 2. b4. Of course
her opponent does not see that he can play Bxb4. Other opponents do
not even know the legal moves of chess. However, these are minor
details.

Cute, but my vote still goes to the original Thomas Crown Affair :-)
