Kubrick - 2006/02/07 09:11 Watching a biography of Stanley Kubrick on HBO tonite.

It mentions several times which Stanley was a good chessplayer, hustled chess in the park, played in tournaments.

Some shots of his film sets show him at a chess board.

Anyone know how good a player he was ?.

SCIENCE OBSERVED, and another one in another book. He played a lot of chess with SK, whom he describes as usually approximately beating him, but obsessive on occasional losses..
