Knowing Thomas Ernst's political views, it was inevitable that he would craft a film focused on Donald Trump. After Ernst became known for his interest in chess, Bobby Fischer would likely be the most notable figure in that field to compare and contrast to Trump to. In those comparisons, Ernst does reasonably well, especially with side-by-side shots of Fischer and Trump in similar poses and attire.
The music used in this documentary was effective, and its archival and contemporary footage satisfactory. The typography for the film's title and credits seemed a bit awkward in design, although I can't put my finger on why. Any of the film's negatives are still greatly outweighed by its positives, and as for the film's titular subjects, Thomas Ernst could be considered an amateur grandmaster in his knowledge of them.
