The chess position and moves that we see are from a game played in 1910 in Hamburg, Germany, between two undistinguished players named Roesch and Schlage. The computer claims that the final position is a checkmate in two moves. Actually, white is not obliged to play the move that HAL suggests (Bxf3), so a checkmate is not in sight. In fact, there are a few more moves left for both players and the chances are good for white to win, if some moves are done correctly. Another result of Stanley Kubrick's fondness for chess is the character Smyslov, named after a Russian champion.
