Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

Geri plays the game with himself, starting out as the "white" player who wears glasses. He then moves to the other side of the table as the "black" opponent who wears no glasses. The scenes go between moves that it looks as though there are two players. The "white" Geri is caught in a bind with his king piece and outsmarts "black" Geri by feigning a heart attack and turning the board around. The "black" Geri realises he has lost the game and hands over a set of false teeth as the prize. "White" Geri puts them in his mouth and grins real big as the shot zooms out, again showing us that there is only one Geri.
