"game over: kasparov and the machine" was critically lauded as "one of the best chess movies ever," it's hard to take that positive review without a grain of salt. the greatest chess movie ever is "searching for bobby fischer." this is the best chess documentary only because so few exist. even for a die-hard chess fan like me, it was hard to sit through the amateurish "style" that the director chose to use. still, it's a chance to watch kasparov (a man i've read about for years) and bask in the glory of when chess mattered -- sort of. recommended only for chess fanatics.
