Dunno, but the MPEG (6 minutes 13 seconds) is good for a laugh if you have
broadband - the cheesiness of the acting is just about beyond belief. Much of it
appears to be people soliloquising to their kneecaps: never mind the lack of eye
contact, something described as "literally intelligent" is a bit suspicious ;)

(And the video obeys Merlino's Law - around 13 seconds it displays a chessboard
both the wrong way round and with a pawn on a1. Later on you see such delights
as four people sitting in front of chessboards, all the wrong way round and with
no pieces on them!)
