10/16/2006 – Remember Fight Club, where Edward Norton and Brad Pitt become involved in an anarchic subculture of bare-knuckle fighting that ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion? Remember the dark, terrifying and bloody fight scenes? Here's a video that recreates the story into a chess environment. Funny, especially for FC fans.

Fight Club is a 1996 novel by American author Chuck Palahniuk, which was turned
into a Hollywood movie, made in 1999 by director David Fincher, which resulted
in the novel becoming a pop culture phenomenon. The story is about a young,
affluent and stylish insomniac (Edward Norton), who meets a slippery soap salesman
(Brad Pitt), who shows him that "not only can you live without material
needs but that self-destruction, the collapse of society and making dynamite
from soap might not be such a bad idea either" (IMDB).
The two create an underground boxing club as a radical form of psychotherapy.
The fight club is about bare-knuckle fighting and is controlled by a set of
eight rules:
1. You don't talk about fight club.
2. You don't talk about fight club.
3. If someone says stop, goes limp, even if he's just faking it, the fight
is over.
4. Only two guys to a fight.
5. One fight at a time.
6. They fight without shirts or shoes.
7. The fights go on as long as they have to.
8. If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
The following high School Promotional Video documents the inner, underground
workings of a club dedicated to enhancing all characteristics of chess. It
parodies the dark and frightening atmosphere of the Fight Club movie. Anyone
who has seen the Norton/Pitt version will enjoy this chess translation.

While tactics decide the game in concrete moments, strategy guides the entire battle. Understanding how to improve your pieces, create weaknesses, execute maneuvers, and steer the game toward favorable structures is what defines strong players.
The Italian Four Knights is the ideal choice. It combines the solid foundation of classical openings like the Ruy Lopez or the Italian Game with an active, initiative-driven style of play.
IM Andrew Martin shows why this 19th-century opening weapon still is a fantastic choice for club players. The Evans produces exciting chess and teaches the art of attack.
IM Andrew Martin complements his Evans Gambit course with a simple and attacking repertoire against all of blacks sidelines after 1.e4 e5.
