Good Product
As a chessplayer, I wanted to find out more about Phiona Mutesi, the teenager who represented her country Uganda in the Chess Olympics in Russia. The actual chess positions in the movie are very accurate. I saw a couple of smothered mates and forks which were accurately depicted. The hardest thing to watch in the movie is the grinding poverty and how this poverty swallows up entire families. If it were not for Phiona's chess teacher, who had the boundless enthusiasm, optimism and willingness to extend his benevolence beyond his immediate family, Phiona would undoubtedly be subjected to dire poverty and hopeless existence! I like the fact that the movie shows chess not only to be a way out of poverty (in having new possibilities and avenues to explore,) but also how it can transform the human spirit (both in good and bad ways -- in realizing how chess opens up a realm of beauty to us and also how chess can make us think that we are something better than what we really are!) Kudos to Disney for wanting to produce this movie! It helps us not only to appreciate with what other people in other parts of the world have to cope, but it also shows us how a generous spirit (portrayed by David Oyelowo) can make a difference, even when it can cost much in personal comfort and gain.

Based on a true story
I have to admit I love to play chess and work with kids learning to play chess so this movie was an easy 5 star rating for me. It is well done. My friends who have been to Africa say the villages and people are true to form. The story was entertaining without being patronizing.

Chess Coach Changes Children
A girl from an impoverished Ugandan family finds her life changed by a remarkable chess coach. This true story underplays the role of the coach's Christian faith in this transformation. But this is an inspiring story of how a commitment to a mission can change everything.

Great Chess story
Great movie! Great Chess movie, but it's more than that.......it's a superb "rags to riches" story. The young lady, "P" is a special person and her life demonstrates how precious she is.....as a person. She is a winner and a fine example for young people (especially poor people) throughout the world! And she inspires ALL people whether rich or poor. Thank you.

Great Movie!
Having travels to Africa in a neighboring country (Burundi) this movie brought back a lot of memories. I love the fact that it is based on a true story.

True story. An inspirational story that immerses the viewer to believe anything is possible when human beings are exposed to experiences that ignite their dreams.
