Originally posted by buckkyi loved the film when i was younger and just learning chess. i now find myself opposed to any promotion of the movie due to b.f. racists beliefs. it is a bad idea to give any extra attention to a fanatic bigot. i also feel that i was mislead about the b.f. history, the film maker must of known what a lunatic this guy is and still shown him in this light of admiration.
That film has just started on cable. What do you guys think of that one ?

Very good flick. I don't much worry about giving Bobby Fischer extra attention - he's deranged and any reasonable person is able to separate his early chess brilliance from his current madness. Have to say, though, that I have never, ever been psyched up to play chess. It's a non-psyched up activity.
