Chess in the Spotlight: Summit School of Chess on the Upcoming “Checkmate” Movie

Emma Stone, Nathan Fielder and A24 to Produce ‘Checkmate,’ Ben Mezrich’s Chess Scandal Story

Chess enthusiasts, rejoice! The recent news of a major Hollywood film centered around chess, “Checkmate,” has the chess world buzzing. Here at Summit School of Chess, we’re thrilled to see the game of kings continue to capture the public imagination.

The film, based on a book proposal by Ben Mezrich (author of “The Social Network”), will delve into the controversial 2022 match between Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann, a story riddled with accusations of cheating. While the details of the film remain under wraps, it’s sure to bring the drama and intrigue of competitive chess to a wider audience.

This renewed interest in chess presents a fantastic opportunity for young minds in the Denver area. At Summit School of Chess, we offer a variety of programs designed to nurture a love for the game and develop essential skills that go far beyond the chessboard.
