Harry Potter: The (In)Complete Position

I find it really professional and classy for a film company to actually consult for the services of an International Master of chess in preparing for a chess position or scene in a movie. Especially one where the moves can become the subject of much scrutiny long after the movie has been replaced in the theatres and the DVD copies have been neatly filed in the cabinets at home. But then again, it doesn't speak so well if you have to go to great lengths to secure such service and then have to eliminate most of the moves anyway to satisfy some practical considerations. Click on the image above to have Jerry Silman himself recount the entire experience to you.
