Documentary on Black Chess coming August 28th

Kirby Ashley is releasing a short film on Black chess players next month and has produced a trailer. It is basically shot within the Chicago chess scene usually taking place in private homes, coffee shops, fast food joints, barber shops, parks and beach fronts.

Ashley told The Chess Drum,

Here is the trailer…
