Tim Robbins plays Spassky
Brian Dennehy plays Karpov
Daniel Day-Lewis plays Tal
And uh, Ben Affleck can play Petrosian. I don't see why not.

"The story centers on the life story of American chess icon Bobby Fischer leading up to his historic world championship match against Boris Spassky."

Why should he speak or open up to them?
They knew nothing about chess so he had nothing to say to them.
To other chess players and his friends he just like any other kid from the Bronx.
