I've Never Been Able to Master Chess...

But a group of middle school students at Intermediate School 318 in Brooklyn has it all figured out. The new documentary Brooklyn Castle tells the story of the school's chess team, which has won more than two dozen national titles. Just how good are they? As the film reveals, if Albert Einstein were on their team today, he probably would rank only around fifth. The film explains that the exceptional program is at risk because of budget cuts. You'll walk away wanting to help—and wanting to be a chess geek, too.
