As evidenced by the title and Harry's desire to play chess by himself at different parts of the movie, the game has a value in the plot. Harry reminded me of Rick in "Casablanca" who also relaxed by playing by himself at times in a game of chess. I was wondering if there were other movies that employed the game of chess in plot motivation. Any help???? Thanks!
shareWell, you have the ABSOLUTELY horrendous "Knight Moves" (no, really!) with Christopher Lambert.
Enjoy!

The Seventh Seal. Ingmar Bergman. Arguably the most famous "Chess-As-Symbol" film. A crusade knight (Max Von Sydow) plays chess with death.
