Post by JohnW »

No, not an actual rematch but a movie about it, premieres May 21st. Sounds cool

It is not a movie, it is a series. 6 episodes. And it premiered in October 2024



I already watched it several months ago on ARTE (german/french TV-station).

What did you think of it?

I'd like to watch it: it gets a rating of 7.3 on IMDB (link), and considering that I remember the event well, and learned a lot about it since, it certainly meets my threshold for viewing. However, I'm not going to subscribe to a media company just to see it.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!

Some details are weird (for computerchess-experts), of course. But overall, IMHO, this series is a must-see for anyone, interested in computerchess. Good actors, high production-value.
