[net.chess] _Dangerous_Moves_, a Foreign Chess movie

   If you haven't already, check out the movie _Dangerous_Moves_.  It's a 
terrific movie about a fictional World Chess Championship.  Both sides try
to win the games by psychologically influencing the opponent.  For instance,
finding the opponent's wife and getting them together, etc.  Also, one of
the players has heart problems.  Sound interesting?
   Most of the emphasis is on the 'moves' outside of the actual tournament,
but there is a lot of chess jargon for devotees.  Look at it this way,
most people don't know a Ruy Lopez opening from any other, so that aspect
had to be limited.

Hope this is coherent, I'm not feeling to well today.
