I disagree with the mishmash comment. Sure the notion of always playing whites is far fetched. As for the beginning moves, most casual players are clueless to their importance (as am I) The basement did look quite cramped for a game of this magnitude, I'm with you 100% on that haha. Overall still a gripping movie, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the suggestions though, I've seen misery which was excellent, I'll be sure to watch the star chamber.
