A fragment of good chess game from James Bond movie From Russia with Love (1963). The game between Kronsteen, Czechoslovakia (white) and MacAdams, Canada (black) can hardly be missed cuz it's the first scene after the opening credits.
The game
1.Nxe5+ Kh7 2.Qe4+ 1-0
Black resigns. But despite being in delicate position, that doesn't look like a brilliant coup, unless MacAdams screws up so bigly like 2... g6. 3.Rf7+, and loses his Queen.
2... Kh8 3.Rxf8+ Rexf8 4.Ng6+ Kh7 5.Nxe7+ (or 3... Qxf8 4.Ng6+ Kh7 5.Nxf8 Kh8 6.Qh7 1-0), the Queen is still lost.
Alt-game
However, with 1.Nxe5+ Ne6, black has better chance especially when Kronsteen attacks aggressively like a brave, stupid Siamese fighting fish, like, 2.Qf7+ Qxf7. Just kidding.
1.Nxe5+ Ne6 2.Ng6 Qc5+ 3.Kh1 ... this can be a long game. Why MacAdams didn't choose that move is a question worth asking.
What about 1... Kh8? 2.Qc4 Nd7 3.Ng6+ Kh7 4.Nxe7, leads to catastrophic losses.
Now we know why James Bond always wins in the movies - none of his opponents is a good chess player. Try Jimmy Moriarty, a mathematical genius, celebrated author and lecturer, boxing champion of Cambridge.
