"Although I feel like it's been all around outclassed by The Queens Gambit, for 1993 this is a damn good chess movie. It's quite an interesting story and it was really nice to see a somewhat realistic representation on adults; flawed and a bit insecure. If you're on the fence, go ahead and watch it."
