A highly imaginative stop-motion animation by Riccardo Crocetta using clay sculpting. The chess game evolves into a full on battle involving Pawns with swords and spears, and even flying unicorns.

The position after 13…Bh3, and the ones that follow, were used in Stanley Kubrick’s movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” for the game between Frank Poole and the HAL-9000 Super Computer.
