Algorithms (2015)

In India, a group of boys dream of becoming Chess Grandmasters, driven by a man with a vision. But this is no ordinary chess and these are no ordinary players. This eye-opening documentary transports us into the little known world of Blind Chess, highlighting the efforts of a leader who inspires three youngsters to bring global recognition to India's blind chess players.

The filmmakers travel with the players to competitive tournaments, including the World Junior Blind Chess Championship. They also film them in their home milieu where they reveal their struggles, anxieties and hopes. Moving through the algorithms of the blind chess world, the film is a tactile and mindful journey that challenges the notion of what it means to 'see'.
