Review of Endgame

Endgame (I) (2015)
6/10
Good enough --

Overall, the movie was watchable ad enjoyable. Perhaps more geared toward children. The acting and script was not great, but OK. I watched this largely because I am a chess master and was curious. The moves and the positions on the board are extremely well done. They clearly used a good chess consultant to get the positions right, which most movies do not. So major kudos on getting the "chess" part right! Just one side note: In a scene mid-way through the movie, the boy plays a very good queen sacrifice, and checkmates his opponent with a double-check and then a knight move. But later he loses when he misses a simple back-rank mate. Not consistent; but the "chess" itself is right.
