• Stan Kelly Bootle: Incidentally, I was chuffed to discover that Marleen Gorris 2000 film version of Luzhin’s Defence shows an outrageously illegal chess move. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Luzhin_Defence#Cinematic_error

    JM: Stan, there are interesting articles about Luzhin's defense in the Zembla Online site. In relation to Gorris's chess-moves, there is an informative link that doesn't make reference to an illegal chess move, although the game has een created for the film, unrelated to VN's own plans.  Cf.  In Search of Luzhin's Defence - The Chess Drum  www.thechessdrum.net/.../2003/NB_Luzhin.html Em cache  30 Sep 2003
