Hi everyone,

Indian chess magazine Black & White has just sent us this movie trailer of Indian movie releasing soon with a chess motif - Bhindi Baazaar. They have given us the English translation of the three chess-related dialogues in the clip. Enjoy.

• When a queen (wazir in Hindi) dies, an ordinary pawn becomes the queen
• It's the law of the business - one piece dies, another is born
• On this chessboard there is no piece that can move him (off)

Chess love for Indian actor

Indian actor Kay Kay Menon

Hello Everyone!

Kay Kay Menon, well-known Indian actor who is busy shooting for his upcoming movie Bhindi Bazar - based on pick-pocketing - has finally found some time to play his favorite game chess!

Director Ankush Bhatt says, "Kay Kay is very fond of this game. As his role in the movie is related to playing a don of the pick-pocketing world, he is seen playing chess. His shots are mostly teaching the chess game to one of his gang member." Kay Kay said, "The very idea of how chess players manipulate their game for their own mean ends excite me. In the movie all the killings are related to chess."

Oh! But chess players are some of the most peace-loving creatures on the planet!

You can read the full interview here. And, if you're in India do let us know what you think of the movie when it releases. It's nearly complete.
