Hmmm, it appears that it is true:

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.

Properly done it would a good film.
I noticed this.
"The story centers on the life story of American chess icon Bobby Fischer leading up to his historic world championship match against Boris Spassky."
So it appears they stop at 1972. Good.
If they can capture the total chess frenzy that went around the world
in the Autumn of '72 then it will be something.
You had to be there. it was incredible and totally unforgetable.

He was socially slow with non-chess players. He had no time for them.
It was the NCP's who wrote how ignorant and shy he was.
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.
