Chess goes to the movies

There might not be any chess on the tellybox these days, but at least there's plenty of it around in films. Your task today: identify ten films from just a line or two of their chess-scene dialogue. (No googling!)

1.
"Err … Rook to king one."

"I’m sorry Frank, I think you missed it: queen to bishop 3, bishop takes queen, knight takes bishop, mate."

"It looks like you’re right. I resign."

"Thank you for a very enjoyable game."



2.
"He made a fair move. Screaming about it can’t help you."

"It’s not wise to upset [BLANKETY BLANK]."

"But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid."

"That’s because a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose."



3.
"Do you play?"

"Try me."



4.
"My congratulations sir. A brilliant coup."



5.
"Your move: bishop to knight four. My move: knight to rook three."

"Poor baby. You’re starting to lose it aren’t you?"

"Your move: king to rook one. My move: rook to knight six. Check mate, check mate."

"Cheating bitch."



6.
"Not king. Checkmate in two moves. Use bishop to queen four."

"Thanks for your advice, comrade, but I think I’ve got it covered."



7.
"I teach him as much as I choose."

"You haven’t taught him enough. Sacrifice. It’s one thing you can’t teach them, captain. Sacrifice! Checkmate."



8.
"Where are we?"

"A graveyard."

"This is no graveyard … it’s a chessboard."



9.
"Are you in the middle of a game?"

"No. Well, actually I’m studying the grandmasters. This was a game between Fischer and Spassky in Reykjavik in 1972 ..."

"You don’t have anyone to play with."

"No. Not since Len."

"You could always get one of those chess computer game things."

"You didn’t come here to talk about chess."



10.
"At this hour? What can I do for you Sebastian?"

"Queen to bishop six, check."

"Nonsense. Just a moment. Hmm. Queen to bishop six. Ridiculous. Queen … bishop six. Hmm. Knight takes queen. What’s on your mind Sebastian? What are you thinking about?"

(off screen whisper): "Bishop to king seven. Checkmate."

"Bishop to king seven. Checkmate I think."
