Chempion mira

I don't understand why it has so low rating. It's awesome movie about chess. Firstly, the scenario shows the rivalry between two great chessmen: Karpov and Korchnoi. I like that it nas some flashbacks to Karpov's childhood. Secondly, the cast is grrat, especially Konstantin Habenskiy as Korchnoi. Thirdly, I like how mind process was shown due to game So, it's great film about chess.

This movie deserves 10.

Konstantin khabensky deserves an oscar for great acting.

I loved the story, vfx, atomsphere, acting, score, directing, everything. Its glamorous, better than most of the hollywood movies.

P. N. I knew every thing that konstantin involved would be great and also watched because of him. The movie got me from the first moment to the last minute. I also like how they compared the chess table to a battle ground, the rivals watching around. It was mesmorising. Well job done.

For a not russian i hope someone created a website that provides english subtitle to russian movies and tv shows, because most of the shows dont have. If you know any site please let me know.

Good sport biopic, much better than "moving up" and others SB for last years. Excellent game of Khabensky and very neat to real events. So, don't miss.

This is one of the few great chess game films that also gives a good outlook on what the soviet society was doing to people's behaviour. This movie is slow, smart and very, very intelligent. I really enjoyed it, but you have to be very patient and attentive to appreciate it.

One thing I found inappropriate was the disturbances created by Karpov opponent to affect Karpov's sleep which did not make much sense. Other than that, I think the plot was interesting enough to keep me interested for the entire 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Whoever likes chess and psychology of complex characters will be interested by this movie. People who like action movies, just skip this one, it is too slow for action seekers.

This is a better than average chess film. Why? Because it has a real-life plot which is usually better than fictionalized plots. In this one, we have a former Russian chess Champion, Korchnoi, having defected to the West, is playing Karpov, the new young icon of Russian chess. Karpov is also a former student of Korchnoi, which complicates the plot and makes it more interesting. In this situation. Will the hot new young rising star win? Or will the old, wily veteran, who knows a bit more about the real world win? Will the teacher beat the student, or will the student best the teacher? Watch for yourself.
