Kevin MacLeod did the music, so it was added recently.

I like the opening scene of 'From Russia with Love' when Kronstein is playing and gets a secret message with his glass of water.
Stalag 17 was a great movie that had an important chess element in it.
I would like to share this short film with you all. It's called
The Boy & The Chess Player
I'll copy what it says about it from utube.
Published on Aug 20, 2012
Leonard, a shy and troubled young boy is raised in an Antisemitic family in New York.
One day, he meets a mysterious old chess player in a park, with whom he will establish a relationship through their common passion for chess.
As it turns out, the Mysterious Chess Player, is a Jewish Holocaust survivor.
Through the transmission of knowledge between the old man and Leonard, the young boy will learn a very important lesson, that will enable him to stand up to his father and maybe teach him a lesson?
Here is the film 
Ooops, forgot to post the film, sorry. 
Finding Bobby Fischer was a nice movie
