The Soviet Union used chess to demonstrate its intellectual superiority to the West, but along came a young, lone American who demolished the Russian masters of the sport. At the height of his career, Bobby Fischer was better known than any other man in the world. Relentless press attention, political pressure and a monomaniacal focus on chess ultimately led to his undoing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcademy Award®-nominated director Liz Garbus (The Farm, Angola USA) uses the narrative tension of the 1972 match between Fischer and the defending World Champion, Boris Spassky, to explore not only the politically charged period of the early 1970s, but also the nature of genius, madness and the game of chess itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFestival Selections \u0026amp; Awards:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOfficial Selection: Sundance Film Festival (2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOfficial Selection: Hot Docs (2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOutstanding Achievement in Filmmaking: Newport Beach Film Festival (2011)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical Praise:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Epic... a sense of larger-than-life drama that rivals Rocky IV\" — Vanity Fair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Brilliant, haunting, avid, and beautifully inquiring\" — Entertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A haunting portrait of the chess genius as an incandescent prodigy\" — Village Voice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Fascinating\" — The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBonus Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA History of Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Fight for Fischer's Estate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical \u0026amp; Production Info:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColor \/ Approx. 93 mins.
