This film was about a young chess player. .  .

It could have been about a  tennis, golfer, basketball player and it would have been just as good . . . But I'm glad it was about chess . . .

I don't have a tape player to play it with.

I saw that film when it first came out. The funny thing is that I just realized that the guy who does the main Chess "Academy" on Chessmaster 11, Josh Waitzkin, is the real life kid from that film. I'd had wondered, from time to time, why they chose to brand their software around a mere IM, as opposed to someone the likes of an Anand or Magnus Carlsen. I suppose that their marketing team decided that the target audience of a beginner oriented chess game (especially one that has a console game version) would be more familiar with someone with their own youth oriented movie.

On another note, another chess themed movie that is rarely mentioned is the 1994 movie, "Fresh"   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109842/

   ---   I missed this thread the first time around but it is quite interesting. Also I luv the line by this guy where he says: " a mere IM ", best line I've seen in a while. Yup a Mere IM, too funny  Rofl.
