Anyone who knows how to play chess will understand how to write a screenplay for a film. Most chess players stumble from beginning to end. We don’t know much, but we know enough to play. We move without really knowing what’s going to happen further on in the game. Maybe we can see one or two moves ahead, and, if we can, we’re pleased by our uncanny ability to see even that far ahead. Better than the days when we couldn’t see ahead at all – when we were playing blindly. Over time, as we learned more about playing chess, we made a startling revelation: chess depends more upon long-term strategy than upon short-term tactics. Up till then, we’d been happy with a rather short-sighted approach. Suddenly, we became aware of ‘the big picture’. We began to see the game as a whole, not just a series of individual moves. And once we saw the game as a whole, we began to see patterns emerge in the play. Gambits, they call them. And the patterns have names, such as openings, middle games and end games. In chess, as in screenplay writing, the more often you play, the more aware you become of its complexities.
