Trailer of Chess Documentary on Magnus Carlsen - 'The Prince of Chess'

Tal Chess Memorial - the super-strong tournament - with world's No. 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen of Norway begins on June 7 in Moscow. We are reminded of a documentary made in 2005 titled 'Prince of Chess' by Norwegian director Oyvind Asbjornsen. Carlsen was, at that time, 13 years old and the world's youngest grandmaster. The Carlsen family had rented out their house to travel with Carlsen around the world to chess tournaments. The documentary also take up the chess motif in culture and politics. Magnus had said, in the documentary, that his dream was to be world chess champion and before 2020!


This trailer of the documentary on the chess wizard was uploaded to YouTube by razantra.
