Searching for Bobby Fischer (Steven Zaillian, 1993)

One of the most well-known modern movies about chess, where this game is omnipresent and we obviously see a lot of chess sets,  matches, clubs and competitions, but also another board games at Josh's (Max Pomeranc) room. We also get to see two men playing backgammon early in the movie and chinese checkers, parcheesi, pinochle and Monopoly are also mentioned.


A backgammon match is briefly seen early in the movie
