Remember the amazing chess-themed promo shown on the Spanish station Cuatro? Here’s a video that shows how it was made.

It turns out they had originally started with the Borges poem but then, because of copyright issues, they used the Omar Khayyam poem instead.

The original Spanish promo from Cuatro has been pulled from YouTube, but there are two English versions that are available (at least for now).

The original Cuatro promo has been pulled from YouTube.

I found two other versions that are still available (at least at the moment). The first is a version with English text, which I think was fan-made:

The second was narrated by Terry O’Quinn (Locke). The translation here is a bit different from the one widely circulated with the original promo. What before had been translated as “destiny” is here translated as “fate.” I actually liked “destiny” better, because of the way it echoed the language used in LOST.
