Chess is everywhere!

Chess is so ubiquous and appears in so many movies —even if only for a moment— that I decided to post a special «compilation» entry with several films where we briefly see chess sets... Here they are...

L'uomo del labirinto (Into the Labyrinth, Donato Carrisi, 2019). A chess set is
seen at the kidnapper's lair

The Old Guard (Gina Prince-Bythewood, 2020): a glimpse of a chess set
in the night sequence the group spends in the church

A small chess set at the Shadows´ cabin (Wonderful Days, Sidney J. Furie, 1964)

The Secret Garden (Marc Munden, 2020). A chess set at Archibald's (Colin Firth) office

The Secret Garden. Another chess set at Colin's (Edan Hayhurst) bedroom

The Midnigh Sky: Augustine (George Clooney) plays chess by himself early in the film

Another shot of The Midnight Sky (George Clooney, 2020), with the chess at the left
