It's 1998 in Miami. Rampant poverty, broken families, and a prejudiced system push underprivileged youth to the fringes of society. But for a magnetic group of teens, there's a reprieve. A game where it's not about where you come from, but how you play: chess. As they fight their way to the National Chess Championship, their dedicated teacher shows them that the power of critical thinking can save not only their kings, but also their lives.

I love movies about teachers that inspire their students, especially in the inner city where it's hard to interest the kids (especially boys) in anything but drugs and theft. I found this to be very inspiring.

John Leguizamo wrote, directed and acted in this. His acting was pretty solid but overdone at times. A common theme and excessive cussing wrecked what could have otherwise been a Stand and Deliver great. What if a fan of Leguizamo but don't expect alot. Parts are enjoyable while others are not and not believable at times.
