"I obtained this movie many years ago but got around to watching it only recently. Being a chess player myself, I figured it would be interesting. I have to say however, it's more a murder mystery than about chess. If you're hoping for some insights into the game itself, there is little. The movie is about a chess grandmaster (Lambert) who is being taunted by a serial killer that goes after young women and ritually murders them. The killer wants to "play a game" with Lambert and has him (and the police) running around the island they are on based on ambiguous clues (in the form of words and poems) he leaves behind.
The possible suspects are numerous and just when you think you have it figured out, you find out you were wrong. They don't really make murder mysteries like this anymore. I suppose the style is simply out of date. There are a couple of steamy sex scenes that didn't seem necessary to the film (but welcomed nonetheless) so I would caution watching this in the presence of children or the elderly. There is nothing really "inspiring" about the movie but overall good entertainment."
