| == Summary ==
| |
| '''Dustin Diamond Teaches Chess''' is a 2001 instructional video released by Caissa Productions [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279793/?ref_=ttmi_tt]. It stars Dustin Diamond (best known for playing Samuel "Screech" Powers in Saved by the Bell) and David Gliksman (no information known). The video is apparently four hours long. It revolves around Diamond and Gliksman teaching the audience all about chess. Gliksman acts as the "chess master", and Diamond acts as a student. It is rumored that the film was inspired by Diamond's character on Saved by the Bell, who is a chess master. Diamond has also said that he has been playing chess since age five. Only one trailer and a few select images have surfaced.

| == Plot ==
| |
| The basic plot is Diamond and Gliksman teach the audience all about chess. Not much is known about the actual plot besides this. The trailer shows Diamond introducing the audience to the film, as well as Glikman teaching basic moves to Diamond, who does numerous culturally inappropriate impressions. It is speculated that this is how the entire film is.
| |
| | |
| == Release ==
| |
| The video went directly to VHS. It is unknown if it were ever sold in video stores, but it is confirmed to have been sold through the now defunct website thegamester.com. It is also speculated that the trailer came from thegamester, as there is no evidence of any other media that contains the trailer.

| | |
| == Reviews ==
| |
| Surprisingly, all three of the reviews on IMDb are quite positive. Many said that it was very informative and well made, and could be helpful in a school setting. One reviewer even said that it "brought my family closer together". Some other reviewers criticize it for being poorly edited, and occasionally culturally inappropriate.
