		In the movie, SPECTRE agent Kronsteen is played by Vladek Sheybal, who also appears (sticking to movies with Bond themes) in the James Bond spoof Casino Royale and the 1975 Sean-Connery-starring desert epic The Wind and the Lion.

		The movie chess game is identical to that played by Boris Spassky and David Bronstein at the USSR Championship in Leningrad in 1960 (a detailed move-by-move analysis can be found here), and which is widely regarded as one of the most inspired, brilliant chess matches of all time.

		Semiotician Umberto Eco was one of the first to recognize that the world of Bond shouldn’t be approached in terms of traditional literature, but rather as a game of movement and momentum, like a game of chess.
		Immediately, the mask is taken off of the fake James Bond, and the binary positions are twisted again: the blonde murderer turns out to be the one we have to guard against, and Bond — wearing the fl tux — is clearly the one that is threatened.
		The first sequence after the opening titles consolidates this introduction of the metaphor of the fl-and-white game of chess: the first thing we see is Kronsteen, playing a game of high-level chess against a British champion.
