It's man vs. machine in Computer Chess.
Set during a weekend-long computer chess tournament circa 1980, auteur Andrew Bujalski’s (Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation, Beeswax) 2013 comedy Computer Chess depicts a group of programmers engaged in a game of man vs. machine, and their chance collision with another subculture of aging New Agers in a touchy-feely encounter therapy workshop being held in the same hotel.

We get to know the eccentric geniuses possessed of the vision to teach a metal box to defeat man, literally, at his own game, laying the groundwork for artificial intelligence as we know it.
