Obscure 1982 production out of the National Film Board of Canada, that made the indie film circuit back then.  Documentary that shows the lead up to the Karpov-Korchnoi world championship match, and the political cold war drama that accompanied it, as well as some wonderful footage of Bobby Fischer and other famous players, as well as historical footage and discussion about every conceivable angle of the game of chess.

This film has been out of print for a long time.  I bought a VHS copy of it in the rare window of time that it was available, and am lucky that it still is in very good condition.

A couple of weeks ago, I managed to score a mint in box Panasonic AG-1980, one of the best VHS decks for digitizing.  Finished a nice transfer, and am now encoding it for DVD.

This is a real niche item... doubt that too many folks here would be interested, but thought I'd post just in case.
