Chess fever - Shakhmatnaya Goryachka

I love Chess and I love this movie (even though I can`t read Cyrillic). For those really into chess; the great Capablanca stars in "Chess Fever" of "Shakhmatnaya Goryachka" (1925). Enjoy!

Plot: With an international chess tournament in progress, a young man becomes completely obsessed with the game. His fiancee has no interest in it, and becomes frustrated and depressed by his neglect of her, but wherever she goes she finds that she cannot escape chess. On the brink of giving up, she meets the world champion, Capablanca himself, with interesting results.

Allow the movie some time to load
