A historical satire by Satyajit Ray on the annexation of Oudh, India, British times.
The movie features the eponmyous Chess Players, aristocracy or landed gentry who live off their wealth in a indolent manner, spending days and nights, playing chess, and ignoring politics, and even their women.
Meanwhile the Rajah of Oudh, a poet and a patron of dance, and a somewhat indolent ruler, is being served an ultimatum by the British Regent, who wants him to step down from the throne. In violation of the treaty British troops (manned by Indian soldiers, some from Oudh itself) march on Oudh (modern day Lucknow).
The King's army cannot resist, most fighting men are with the British, and the muslim princelings have grown up lazily, with none of their grandfather's martial instincts.
The dialog, and the addiction to gaming, on the part of these "friends" who are not above a cheap trick or two, moves slowly but poignantly.
while not as famous as Apu trilogy, one of satyajit ray's later films.
