You are correct about the source of the quote. Congratulations!
But you are incorrect about Hopkins' film debut.
http://www.filmbug.com/db/1075
"Hopkins made his film debut in 1967, playing Richard the Lionhearted in The Lion in the Winter, starring Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn. He received a British Academy Award nomination and the film received an Academy Award as Best Picture."
So what's the next quote?

I am sure this is from The Lion in Winter but not sure if this was Tony hopkins debut, I am sure The White Bus was before this
So I will concede that The White Bus was his film debut, and ammend my claim to: The Lion in Winter was his first full-length motion picture.
Now we're both right 🙂
By the way, I have no idea the source of your quote.

Hint please Mr.Bear?
Another hint: it was released under two different titles. We should accept either. One was the name by which I knew the movie back in America, and the other is the better-known name here in Australia.

Boy, this game sure is a lot of fun.
I went for a well-known movie this time, but an obscure quote.
Ok, final hints:
The speaker is an actor portraying Bruce Pandolfini, speaking to a young actor playing young Josh Waitzkin.
Now the next poster had better get the answer... 🙂

Also known as Innocent Moves.
Pandolfini shows up at the Waitzkin house for the first lesson with Josh. He is lead to Josh's room. Through the door, he sees Josh playing water basketball and delivers the line I quoted. They play different games together, but not chess. They don't even discuss chess. Pandolfini charges the Waitzkins for the lesson anyway 🙂

Originally posted by huntingbearI liked this movie; though, I have to say I enjoyed "The ?Luzhin? Defense" much more as the main actor is fantastic.

Ah, that's from one of my favorites - The Princess Bride.
