Chess in the Movies sometimes has too much drama for kids

When I started reviewing movies about chess, I was excited to share some of my favorites on this site. As I looked back on my list of various movies I have watched over the years, I noticed that several of them have elements of violence due to the life stories of the main characters. Many of the movies I was inspired by were about teachers who helped kids who were living in tough situations. Unfortunately, in order to make this point, film makers displayed some of that gang violence on the screen. I just couldn't bring myself to suggest movies like that on a site with a young audience. So... we wait... wait for kid-friendly movies to be made focusing more on chess instead of violent back stories. When I see some of those, I'll be back to reviewing!

Cheers!
