Closing Gambit is a contemporary, well-produced, and coveted documentary. It’s entertaining, informative and fascinating throughout. There are many ways in which events can be retold, and this documentary does a fine job of doing just that. It’s usually not free on Youtube but I have found a free version and linked it here.
There are comments that are, in my opinion, contentious but I don’t wish to go into that here. However, I do want to offer up a fuller account of Soviet chess then the one offered in the documentary. You can find that below. Generally speaking, it is better to go to academic historians than chess players with regards to the history of Soviet chess, as Dr. Eales clearly states here with his broader account of the subject matter which is in itself based on discourse. A good introduction.
