5/13/2020 – We recently had a chess film quiz with stills from movies before the 60s. One of them was the German drama film Brainwashed (1960) by Gerd Oswald. Based on one of the most famous chess books ever written, "Die Schachnovelle" (The Royal Game) by Stefan Zweig, the film itself wasn't very popular. We took a closer look at the game featured in the film and also in the book, which was originally played by Alexander Alekhine against Efim Bogoljubov in 1922.

4/25/2020 – Going to the movies is fun! In this article we therefore take a look at four more or less famous films ("Casablanca", "The Killing", "The Seventh Seal" and "Brainwashed") in which chess plays a major or minor role. But we would also like to invite you to a little film quiz and ask you to "Guess the movie"!
