Chess In Movies: The DaVinci Code

Whenever I watch movies, I look for and spot the Chess sets right away. It's surprising how often they show up.

I saw the DaVinci Code last week and there was a Chess set that really stood out in one scene. It's where they're in that guy's house (I'm really bad with the names) and they're sitting around the table talking about the Grail. The Chess set is on the table, but in one scene in particular, it's shot from behind the chess pieces, so they're blurred in the foreground and the action is happening behind.

It's a bit subtle if you're not watching for it... but I was, and it's there. Watch for it!
