The story of chess champions Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann who battled each other on line and in person in battles that took unexpected turns thanks to social media.
This is a look at the rise of on-line chess and the weird twists and turns that the battle between the old guard and a young upstart happens. It's an story that starts off seeming to be run of the mill before it takes some unexpected turns. It did not play out as I thought.
While it is a great chess film, it is also an intriguing look at hoe social media turns things. A comment about the possibility of using anal beads to cheat turns everything ridiculous because thats what everyone wants to focus on. If you want to know why the world is doomed, its social media.
This film is a great deal of fun. Recommended.
