From Russia With Love
[lang_nl]
Vanavond op tv: From Russia With Love. Veronica, 20.30 uur. Een van de beste Bond-films aller tijden, in ieder geval de favoriet van Sean Connery zelf. Waarom ik dit noem? Vanwege de openingssc?ɬ®ne, waarin geschaakt wordt.[/lang_nl][lang_en]
Tonight at Dutch television (Veronica, 20.30 hrs): From Russia With Love. One of the best Bond movies of all time, at least the favourite of Sean Connery himself. Why do I mention this? Because of the opening scene, in which a game of chess is being played.[/lang_en]
[lang_nl]Een shot van deze openingssc?ɬ®ne is een van de bovenkantjes die ik heb gebruikt voor deze site. Er gebeurt geen onzin in de sc?ɬ®ne; er wordt een bestaande partij Spassky-Bronstein nagespeeld. Een grappig trivia-weetje van IMDB: "The chess tournament set appearing at the beginning of the film cost $150,000. The ceiling top of the chess set was actually a matte painting."
Ook Wikipedia heeft natuurlijk meer info over de film.
Chessbase schreef er ook al ooit over.
Een lijst van films waarin geschaakt wordt is hier te vinden.
Natuurlijk controleerde ik ook even YouTube maar ik kon zogauw alleen de intro vinden met de credits. Toch vanavond kijken dus![/lang_nl][lang_en]A shot of the opening scene is one of the headers I used for my site. There's no nonsense in the scene; the players are replaying an existing Spassky-Bronstein game. A funny trivia at IMDB: "The chess tournament set appearing at the beginning of the film cost $150,000. The ceiling top of the chess set was actually a matte painting."
Of course Wikipedia has more info about the film too.
Chessbase also wrote about it.
A list of movies in which chess plays a role can be found here.
Of course I also checked YouTube but after a quick search I only found the intro with the credits. So we'll have to watch tonight![/lang_en]

Tim Krabbe also wrote about this game (Spasski - Bronstein if I remember well) and about how embarrassed he then felt for not recognising him) in one of his beautiful and charming Schaakkuriosa books.

'From Russia with love' was on Bulgarian TV at 30.10.2006 as part of a 12-series of Sean Conory's Bond. At the moment, there is a 12-series of Roger Moore's Bond on Bulgarian BTV channel.
