  • ""Le film montre en parallèle le drame historique du royaume indien d'Awadh (dont la capitale est Lucknow) et de son roi musulman Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, capturé par les Anglais et l'histoire de deux nobles obsédés par le jeu d'échecs. Nawab, artiste et poète, monarque dépossédé, ne peut plus que se lamenter sur un mode poétique, une fois que les Anglais lui ont fait signer un traité de protection. Le parallèle à ce drame est le conte personnel (et parfois plein d'humour) de deux riches nobles de ce royaume, amis inséparables, passionnément habités par le jeu de chaturanga (ou échecs), négligeant leurs épouses. Le rôle de capitaine Weston, tellement anglais dans ses manières, mais tombé amoureux de la poésie ourdou est également remarquable. Dans la dernière scène, après avoir tiré sur Mirza, Mir se lamente dehors "je n'aurai plus de partenaire pour jouer aux échecs". Mirza lui réplique "mais vous avez un devant vous !" (lui signifiant ainsi qu'il le pardonne) et il conclut "après la tombée de la nuit, nous retournerons à la maison. Nous deux avons besoin d'obscurité pour cacher nos visages." ". --Site wikipédia, consulté le 22 septembre 2014."
  • "In the kingdom of Awadh, rich landowners Meer and Mirza pour every ounce of passion into a never-ending game of chess. Without thinking of their responsibilities to their families or the political uprising in the kingdom, the two men just keep playing."
  • "Period drama, set against the annexation of the kingdom of Avadh by the British in 1856."
  • ""Set in the knigdom of Oudh during the last days of the Moghul Empire, 'The Chess Players' marked the first time that the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray worked outside of his native Bengal. The story follows two Indian noblemen whose obsession with the game of chess renders them oblivious to the treacherous and historic events happening around them. In one of his finest performances. Richard Attenborough stars as General Outram,the British officer who covertly manoeuvres on behalf of the East India Company to seize control of the region and depose its King. One of Ray's most ambitious and expensive productions, 'The Chess Players' is a masterful and visually stunning historical drama." -- Container."
  • "Ray brings an extra dimension to the merging of fact with fiction in the historical genre of the Indian cinema. While the East India Co. completes a bloodless takeover of the independent Indian state of Oudh in 1856 through the agency of the British administration, two nawabs obsessively play chess. The dividing line between the personal and the political progressively narrows. Oudh's hedonistic, cultured king, Wajid, remains an enigma to the British Resident, General Outram, while the nawabs adopt the more expeditious English version of chess in preference to the Indian."
