The Chess Players: Review

Kumar and Jaffrey are two noblemen in 19th-century India who carry on their endless games of chess oblivious to the efforts of British general Attenborough to annex their province into the Empire. Ponderously allegorical and overlong, a major disappointment from director Ray. (English and Hindi; English subtitles.)
