==Plot== In a park, an old man named Geri sets up a chessboard. There is no one else in the park for him to play with, so he proceeds to play [[chess]] against himself, playing the parts of both participants by moving to opposite sides of the board and either removing or replacing his glasses. The "participant" without the glasses, and playing as the [[White and Black in chess|Black]], is aggressive and confident, while the "participant" with the glasses who plays [[White and Black in chess|White]] is timid and makes several mistakes. The camera work at one point makes it look like there are two Geriβs playing the game. Black Geri captures all of White Geri's pieces except the [[king (chess)|king]], at which point White Geri fakes a heart attack and falls to the ground, startling Black Geri. Black Geri takes his own pulse and looks under the table to check on White Geri; all the while, White Geri secretly turns the board around, so Black Geri now has the [[bare king]], and White Geri has the black pieces. He gets up and reveals to Black Geri that he is alright and takes his turn. Black Geri [[resign (chess)|concedes defeat]] and gives White Geri the prize: his false teeth. The film ends with the camera zooming out to remind the audience that there is only one Geri.
