"Chess Player" on current video

[Will Ryan]

Thanks again to Steven Hill for this information - but buyers outside 
the US and Canada beware - I was just about to buy this for my wife to 
give me for Christmas when I noticed on the Amazon.uk site a piece of 
information not offered on the MilestoneFilms website - that the DVD is 
Region 1 and NTSC only - i.e. won't work on most DVD and TV players 
outside US and Canada. Pity.
