You didn't quite nail 'every' chess movie. In fact, many are missing from your list.

1) 1929 Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera which follows Vertov’s brother and cameraman Mikhail as they record scenes of daily life in three Soviet cities, e.g., two men playing chess in a workers’ club.

2) 2014 Pawn Sacrifice https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596345/

3) 2016 The Queen of Katwe https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4341582/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

4) 1984 Dangerous Moves https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087144/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

5) 1957 The Seventh Seal https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050976/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

6) 2019 The Coldest Game https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6445414/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

And that's just for starters, use the keywords 'chess movies' in a google search for many, many more.

Yeah I mean I've mentioned I just watched the most popular ones. #2, #3 and #6 I tried watching but just couldn't finish. #4 is at number 10, the other two I haven't heard of.
