I've seen this film before, and I'll be interested in what others think of it. I believe it's based on a true story.

It is based on a true story. It is pretty po-faced.
'The Mighty Pawns' is also based on the same story.
'Hatley High' is unfortunately fiction. This full length high school drama has a small twist. Chess has the same status there as American football usually has in other American films.
I do hope 'Fresh' is not based on a true story.
