ChessBase is a personal, stand-alone chess database that has become the standard throughout the world. Everyone uses ChessBase, from the World Champion to the amateur next door. It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it.
The movie is about two men playing a game of chess, in which one player is dead and the another, alive. Throughout the game, the player who is alive tries to discover the reasons behind the other player's death.
Indian movie director Vidhu Vinod Chopra has been working on the script for several years. It is a radical departure from everything hes done before: the characters and the locations are American, but the themes love, friendship, and the anguish of a bereaved parent are universal.
The language is entirely English. The film will be shot entirely in Vancouver, Canada. In an interview Chopra claimed Indian audiences were not mature enough to understand The Fifth Move. He explained, "The maturity level of the average [Indian] cinemagoer is very low. It is very difficult to make them understand such subjects."
The Fifth Move has aroused interest of international stars including Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams, all of whom have shown interest to play key roles in the film.
