In the original English version of the movie HAL says at this point. "I'm sorry Frank, I think you missed it Queen to bishop three ( the game is played on a screen and the train is running - HAL says its trains only on ) bishop takes queen, knight takes bishop, mate. " " Yeah. Yes, looks like you're right, " replied Poole and gives up.
Matt By threatening 16 .. Sf4 - h3. This is stated as the last train of the game in the tournament book of 1911, some sources give even the trains 16.Ld1xf3 Se5xf3 matt on. Some confusion, however, caused the specified type known as a perfectionist Stanley Kubrick notation: "Queen to bishop three" in English descriptive notation means Df6, Df3 should have "Queen to bishop six" hot. Also, the train is 16.Ld1xf3 ( " bishop takes queen" ) is not yet enforced. 16.Da6 - h6 eg, Matt would have delayed a bit. These two points have been by some critics as a veiled reference to the malfunction of the computer in the film plays a major role later interpreted ( an alternative interpretation is that HAL wanted to test his opponent ).
