Chessmaster Theatre Presents: How to Play Chess

  • 1994
  • 3m
YOUR RATING
An animated satire of the old PBS programs from England that taught you the elements of the game of Chess. Done in a style not unlike something Monty Python might have done on the subject.

Monty Python like short film that pokes fun at the stuffy programs on the BBC that teach you the elements of the game of chess. This chess game includes cheating and mercenaries.Monty Python like short film that pokes fun at the stuffy programs on the BBC that teach you the elements of the game of chess.
