Shot with a vintage camera on black-and-white video, director Andrew Bujalski's endearingly oddball farce takes place at a dreary hotel at the dawn of the '80s, as chess programming nerds from around the country congregate to see who has the coding skills to put a smarmy grandmaster in his place. Quirkily compelling time capsule stars Patrick Riester, Wiley Wiggins, Robin Schwartz, and Gerald Peary. 92 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
