Untold: Chess Mates
Part of the Untold Collection, Untold: Chess Mates is a 2026 documentary about the feud that split the chess world. Magnus Carlsen, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, is challenged by Hans Niemann, a rising star riding the boom in online chess. Niemann's win over Carlsen at the 2022 Sinquefield Cup is followed by allegations and revelations of cheating, and the film tracks his effort to clear his name and fight back to the top, leading to a rematch with Carlsen in 2024.
Both players appear as themselves, alongside Danny Rensch, Erik Allebest, Hikaru Nakamura, Bruce Pandolfini, Henrik Carlsen and Levy Rozman. Thomas Tancred directs. The film runs 1h 15m; no age rating is listed.
