The Knight's Move

About This Movie

The Knight's Move is an interesting blend of comedy and chess culture, set against the backdrop of Almaty. The story revolves around Tigran, a chess player who accidentally swallows a stolen ruby, leading to a chaotic chase. The pacing feels deliberate, almost slow at times, but it builds a quirky atmosphere that complements the absurdity of the plot. You get a sense of the cultural nuances of Armenia, which adds a unique flavor to the narrative. The performances have a certain charm—Felix's relentless pursuit of the ruby injects a lighthearted tension. The practical effects, particularly in the chess tournament scenes, are refreshing. It’s not your typical chess movie; it brings humor into a world often seen as serious.
