Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
MY GOD!!! jUDGIING BY THE TRAILER..this looks even worse that that spectacularily Bad Fischer Movie they put out last year!!! (If such a thing was possible) Why is it that only nerds and people who can`t make film do films about chess..I mean..it`s embarrasing.
I wonder if it’s a good movie.
