A Chess Dispute is an 1903 British short black-and-white silent comedy film, directed by Robert W. Paul, featuring two gentlemen in a comedic fight following a disputed chess move. It is included on the BFI DVD R.W. Paul: The Collected Films 1895-1908.

Synopsis

À la terrasse d'un pub, deux jeunes gens élégants (blazers et chapeaux de paille) jouent aux échecs. L'un d'eux, profitant d'un moment d'inattention de son partenaire, déplace une pièce décisive. L'autre s'en aperçoit, une querelle s'installe, le tricheur se voit pincer le nez et riposte en aspergeant son adversaire d'eau de Seltz. Ils en viennent aux mains, renversent la table, roulent à terre, disparaissant à nos yeux. Le combat se poursuit, hors-champ, une jambe surgit, un bras brandissant une chaussure, les canotiers traversent les airs, les cravates, les vestes giclent en tous sens… Le serveur arrive, scandalisé, et remonte (dans le champ de la caméra) les deux querelleurs, couverts d'ecchymoses et étourdis de coups.

Dans une rue, un homme discute galamment avec une dame. Il descend malencontreusement sur la chaussée au moment où survient une calèche qui lui passe sur le corps, le cheval le piétinant de surcroît. L'attelage continue sa route, poursuivi par un policier présent au moment du drame. La dame essaie en vain de ramener la victime à la vie, ainsi qu'un passant qui ne peut que constater le décès et enlever cérémonieusement son chapeau devant la dépouille. Le policier ramène le cocher et lui montre le résultat de son imprudence. C'est alors que l'homme accidenté se relève miraculeusement, saisit la dame par la main et l'entraîne joyeusement hors de notre vue devant les curieux hilares.

In 1980, an annual gathering of teams of idiosyncratic nerds compete in a nondescript California hotel to see which of their computer programs can best the others at computer chess. A grandmaster (Gerald Peary) presides as master of ceremonies with a videographer and microphone in tow. Clunky, primitive personal computers are carted from room to room. Bad haircuts, dorky shirts, “birth control glasses”, and other social impedimenta are ubiquitous. Bull sessions on the dystopian possibilities of artificial intelligence are pursued. The Pentagon's interest in the goings-on is intimated. The only female geek (Robin Schwartz) in attendance is repeatedly hailed and “welcomed” by the MC.
