[ Josh ]
In the days before the event,
3
00:00:53,367 --> 00:00:58,327
he had the whole world
wondering if he would show up.
4
00:01:07,315 --> 00:01:08,748
while he napped
5
00:01:08,816 --> 00:01:11,842
or took walks
and ate sandwiches.
6
00:01:13,321 --> 00:01:14,754
Henry Kissinger called
7
00:01:14,822 --> 00:01:17,814
and asked him to go
for his country's honor.
8
00:01:20,261 --> 00:01:22,491
Soon after arriving,
9
00:01:22,563 --> 00:01:23,996
he offended the Icelanders
10
00:01:24,065 --> 00:01:25,999
by calling their country
inadequate
11
00:01:26,067 --> 00:01:29,867
because they had
no bowling alleys.
12
00:01:29,937 --> 00:01:32,599
He complained
about the TV cameras,
13
00:01:32,673 --> 00:01:34,106
about the lighting,
14
00:01:34,175 --> 00:01:36,109
about
the table and chairs,
15
00:01:36,177 --> 00:01:39,613
and the contrast of
the squares on the board.
16
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,117
His hotel room, he said,
Had too nice a view.
17
00:01:44,185 --> 00:01:48,087
None of this had anything
to do with chess, of course...
18
00:01:48,156 --> 00:01:50,716
or maybe it did.
19
00:01:50,791 --> 00:01:52,418
If he won,
20
00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:56,259
he'd be the first
American world champion in history.
21
00:01:56,330 --> 00:01:57,763
If he lost,
22
00:01:57,832 --> 00:02:01,268
he'd just be another
patzer from Brooklyn.
23
00:02:03,137 --> 00:02:06,231
On the 40th move
Of the 21st game,
24
00:02:06,307 --> 00:02:09,242
he countered
Spassky's bishop to king-6
25
00:02:09,310 --> 00:02:11,676
with a pawn to rook-4.
26
00:02:12,747 --> 00:02:14,840

By statesmen and kings.
33
00:02:36,871 --> 00:02:43,769

original, unexpected move of all.

Outstanding.
372
00:26:04,775 --> 00:26:05,707
Outstanding.
373
00:26:05,776 --> 00:26:07,505
Nothing I can do.
374
00:26:07,577 --> 00:26:09,966
I'm in major trouble,
major trouble.
375
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,830
I got big problems now.
376
00:26:12,903 --> 00:26:14,336
[ Katya ]
What's this?
377
00:26:14,404 --> 00:26:15,962
This goes like this.
378
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:17,472
And this
goes like this.
379
00:26:17,541 --> 00:26:19,771
And this
can go over pieces.
380
00:26:19,843 --> 00:26:21,777
That piece
should go over here.
381
00:26:21,845 --> 00:26:23,676
And the pawn go--
382
00:26:24,848 --> 00:26:26,042
And the pawns--
383
00:26:26,116 --> 00:26:28,050
the pawns can
take like this.
384
00:26:28,118 --> 00:26:29,551
This is a pawn...
385
00:26:29,619 --> 00:26:31,985
You sneak in here again,
Katya?
386
00:26:32,055 --> 00:26:32,987
Yeah.
387
00:26:33,056 --> 00:26:35,889
It's way past
your bedtime.
388
00:26:35,959 --> 00:26:38,689
Say good night
to your brother.
389
00:26:38,762 --> 00:26:39,694
Good night.
390
00:26:42,065 --> 00:26:43,089
There.
391
00:26:45,569 --> 00:26:47,002
Mom?
392
00:26:47,070 --> 00:26:48,230
Yeah?
393
00:26:49,573 --> 00:26:52,007
Does Vinnie
sleep in the park?
394
00:26:53,577 --> 00:26:56,910
I have no idea
where he lives.
395
00:26:56,980 --> 00:26:58,345
Well, I was thinking...
396
00:26:58,415 --> 00:27:01,646
maybe he could sleep
in my top bunk instead.
397
00:27:01,718 --> 00:27:04,653
Then when I get old enough
to sleep in it,
398
00:27:04,721 --> 00:27:06,655
he could sleep
down here.
399
00:27:08,024 --> 00:27:10,720
You have a good heart.
400
00:27:12,596 --> 00:27:16,225
And that's the most important thing
in the world.
401
00:27:22,739 --> 00:27:23,967
Good night.
402
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,268
Good night, Mom.
403
00:27:57,574 --> 00:27:59,508
Glad you could
make it.
404
00:28:05,849 --> 00:28:07,282
So how's it going?
405
00:28:08,351 --> 00:28:09,283
All right.
406
00:28:09,352 --> 00:28:11,286
Great.
407
00:28:11,354 --> 00:28:12,412
That's great.
408
00:28:13,523 --> 00:28:15,991
So what do you think?
409
00:28:16,059 --> 00:28:18,459
Have you ever been
to a tournament before?
410
00:28:18,528 --> 00:28:19,460
No.
411
00:28:19,529 --> 00:28:21,121
Ah. You're in luck then.
412
00:28:21,197 --> 00:28:23,631
This is one
of the most prestigious.
413
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:26,294
The talent gathered here's
the strongest in the country.
414
00:28:26,369 --> 00:28:28,064
Everybody's here.
415
00:28:28,138 --> 00:28:30,800
Joel Benjamin--
former U.S. Champion,
416
00:28:30,874 --> 00:28:34,776
among the six highest-rated players
in the country.
417
00:28:37,213 --> 00:28:41,479
The man in the corner's
Roman Dzindzichashvili--
418
00:28:41,551 --> 00:28:42,984
two-time U.S. Champion.
419
00:28:43,053 --> 00:28:45,487
A few years ago,
he was ranked
420
00:28:45,555 --> 00:28:48,888
among the top 1 0 players
of the world.
421
00:28:54,230 --> 00:28:55,993
Asa Hoffman.
422
00:28:56,066 --> 00:28:58,000
He's the son
of two lawyers.
423
00:28:58,068 --> 00:29:00,002
He grew up
on Park Avenue,
424
00:29:00,070 --> 00:29:02,095
went to Columbia
and Horace Mann
425
00:29:02,172 --> 00:29:04,436
before dropping out
to play chess full-time.
426
00:29:04,507 --> 00:29:07,271
He plays about 200 chess tournaments
a year.
427
00:29:07,343 --> 00:29:08,935
Asa.
428
00:29:09,012 --> 00:29:09,944
Asa.
429
00:29:13,850 --> 00:29:16,648
How much do you make
at the tournaments altogether...
430
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,153
about $2,000 a year?
431
00:29:18,221 --> 00:29:21,156
Look at that. I got him thinking.
I got him thinking.
432
00:29:21,224 --> 00:29:24,284
Maybe I can win a pawn.
433
00:29:32,535 --> 00:29:34,969
Clearly, you
had me come here
434
00:29:35,038 --> 00:29:37,563
so I could
see all this.
435
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,076
But if you really
wanted me to say no
436
00:29:41,144 --> 00:29:43,078
to letting my son play,
437
00:29:43,146 --> 00:29:44,579
you wouldn't
have bothered.
438
00:29:45,882 --> 00:29:49,545
You want me to think
you want me to say no,
439
00:29:49,619 --> 00:29:52,486
but you actually...
440
00:29:52,555 --> 00:29:54,648
want me to say yes.
441
00:29:56,826 --> 00:29:59,226
You have no idea
what I want.
442
00:30:02,065 --> 00:30:04,761
What is chess,
do you think?
443
00:30:04,834 --> 00:30:07,769
Those who play for fun,
or not at all,
444
00:30:07,837 --> 00:30:09,771
dismiss it as a game.
445
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:13,275
The ones who devote their lives to it,
for the most part,
446
00:30:13,343 --> 00:30:15,777
insist it is a science.
It's neither.
447
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:19,172
Bobby Fischer
got underneath it
448
00:30:19,249 --> 00:30:20,841
Like no one before him
449
00:30:20,917 --> 00:30:22,851
and found at its center...
450
00:30:22,919 --> 00:30:24,352
art.
451
00:30:24,420 --> 00:30:27,856
I've spent my life
trying to play like him.
452
00:30:27,924 --> 00:30:30,620
Most of these guys have.
453
00:30:30,693 --> 00:30:32,320
But we're like forgers.
454
00:30:33,596 --> 00:30:35,154
We're competent fakes.
455
00:30:38,601 --> 00:30:40,694
His successor
wasn't here tonight.
456
00:30:43,106 --> 00:30:44,539
He wasn't here.
457
00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:50,045
He's asleep in his room
in your house.
458
00:30:52,448 --> 00:30:54,575
Your son creates
like Fischer.
459
00:30:56,019 --> 00:30:58,544
He sees like him...
460
00:30:58,621 --> 00:31:00,088
inside.
461
00:31:00,156 --> 00:31:01,487
You can tell that
462
00:31:01,558 --> 00:31:04,152
by watching him
play some drunks in the park?
463
00:31:04,227 --> 00:31:05,751
Yes!
464
00:31:08,798 --> 00:31:11,995
You want to know
what I want?
465
00:31:12,068 --> 00:31:14,502
I'll tell you what I want.
466
00:31:14,571 --> 00:31:16,004
I want back
467
00:31:16,072 --> 00:31:19,371
what Bobby Fischer took with him
when he disappeared.
468
00:31:25,081 --> 00:31:26,514
Yeah, look at that.
469
00:31:29,752 --> 00:31:31,276
Oh!
470
00:31:35,592 --> 00:31:37,025
You're his father.
471
00:31:37,093 --> 00:31:38,720
It's your decision.
472
00:31:55,111 --> 00:31:56,203
Josh.
473
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:59,305
I--I'd like you to meet
a friend of mine.
474
00:31:59,382 --> 00:32:00,314
Hi, Josh.
475
00:32:00,383 --> 00:32:01,941
This is Bruce.
476
00:32:02,018 --> 00:32:03,042
Hi.
477
00:32:06,055 --> 00:32:08,489
Well, I'll let
you two, um...
478
00:32:08,558 --> 00:32:09,991
I'll be downstairs.
479
00:32:52,602 --> 00:32:54,035
I love
water basketball.
480
00:32:54,103 --> 00:32:58,039
Well, supposedly, he used to, uh,
really be someone.
481
00:32:58,107 --> 00:33:01,042
Some sort of, uh...
master level...
482
00:33:02,211 --> 00:33:03,769
something or other.
483
00:33:03,846 --> 00:33:04,972
Used to.
484
00:33:05,048 --> 00:33:08,142
Well, yeah. Well,
he doesn't play anymore...
485
00:33:08,217 --> 00:33:09,809
on the circuit...
486
00:33:11,654 --> 00:33:14,680
or--or whatever, um...
they call it.
487
00:33:16,059 --> 00:33:17,492
Well, he's interesting.
488
00:33:32,575 --> 00:33:34,509
All right, this is it.
489
00:33:37,914 --> 00:33:40,382
Mr. Green
in the conservatory
490
00:33:40,450 --> 00:33:41,883
with the candlestick.
491
00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:47,915
Wrench.
492
00:33:49,892 --> 00:33:52,861
Fr�re Jacques
493
00:33:52,929 --> 00:33:54,794
Fr�re Jacques
494
00:33:54,864 --> 00:33:57,025
Dormez-vous?
495
00:33:57,100 --> 00:33:58,533
Dormez-vous?
496
00:33:58,601 --> 00:34:01,126
I need to talk
to your dad a minute.
497
00:34:01,204 --> 00:34:03,138
I'll see you
next week, O.K.?
498
00:34:03,206 --> 00:34:04,907
I really had
a great time, Josh.
499
00:34:04,907 --> 00:34:05,566
Me, too.
500
00:34:06,886 --> 00:34:07,716
Bye.
501
00:34:07,787 --> 00:34:08,913
Bye.
502
00:34:08,988 --> 00:34:11,923
The first lesson went
very well, I think.
503
00:34:11,991 --> 00:34:13,185
Oh, good.
504
00:34:15,494 --> 00:34:16,426
So, uh...
505
00:34:16,495 --> 00:34:18,258
uh, were you guys...
506
00:34:18,331 --> 00:34:19,423
talking about...
507
00:34:19,498 --> 00:34:20,931
chess up there?
508
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,491
No, it didn't come up.
509
00:34:26,005 --> 00:34:28,940
So I'll see you
next Saturday then?
510
00:34:30,076 --> 00:34:31,668
Uh, right.
511
00:34:41,020 --> 00:34:41,987
That's great.
512
00:34:44,690 --> 00:34:45,679
So long.
513
00:34:50,062 --> 00:34:52,724
How about some Pac-Man
next week, Josh?
514
00:34:52,798 --> 00:34:54,060
Pac-Man and pizza.
515
00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:55,065
Great.
516
00:34:55,134 --> 00:34:56,465
O.K.
517
00:34:56,535 --> 00:34:58,662
I'll see myself out.
518
00:34:58,738 --> 00:35:00,433
It was very nice
meeting you.
519
00:35:09,248 --> 00:35:10,681
Mate is four moves
520
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:13,412
from the position
in front of you.
521
00:35:13,486 --> 00:35:17,422
Don't move until you figure it out
in your head.
522
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,924
Don't look to me
for a hint.
523
00:35:19,992 --> 00:35:22,426
I can't do it without
moving the pieces.
524
00:35:22,495 --> 00:35:23,928
Yes, you can.
525
00:35:23,996 --> 00:35:26,931
Clear the lines of men
in your head,
526
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:28,432
one at a time,
527
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:30,935
and the king will
be left standing alone,
528
00:35:31,003 --> 00:35:33,938
Like a guy
on a street corner.
529
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:39,910
Here, I'll make it
easier for you.
530
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,232
Knight to c8.
531
00:36:09,308 --> 00:36:11,708
Yes.
532
00:36:29,295 --> 00:36:31,923
I want to show you
something else.
533
00:36:42,675 --> 00:36:44,575
This is very rare.
534
00:36:44,643 --> 00:36:47,271
It says, "Master
Chess Certificate...
535
00:36:47,346 --> 00:36:48,779
awarded to..."
536
00:36:48,848 --> 00:36:51,783
and there's a blank here
for a name...
537
00:36:51,851 --> 00:36:54,752
"for highest achievement
538
00:36:54,820 --> 00:36:59,189
on this day of blank,
nineteen hundred and blank."
539
00:37:00,292 --> 00:37:01,725
Careful with it.
540
00:37:07,967 --> 00:37:10,561
It's a mysterious
and powerful thing.
541
00:37:10,636 --> 00:37:13,332
It's only been
given out...
542
00:37:14,807 --> 00:37:16,240
I don't know...
543
00:37:16,308 --> 00:37:18,333
a few times in history.
544
00:37:20,479 --> 00:37:23,414
And then only
to those who achieve
545
00:37:23,482 --> 00:37:25,416
a lot of master-class
points.
546
00:37:25,484 --> 00:37:28,419
Then there's a big ceremony
and so on.
547
00:37:28,487 --> 00:37:31,422
How do you get
master-class points?
548
00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:33,549
You earn them.
549
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:35,560
You just earned 1 0...
550
00:37:35,628 --> 00:37:38,495
for that knight to c8.
551
00:37:38,564 --> 00:37:40,259
1 0.
552
00:37:40,332 --> 00:37:41,264
1 0...
553
00:37:42,668 --> 00:37:43,760

And you're wondering
why that is.

Here's your certificate.
Fill it out.
1091
01:14:41,879 --> 01:14:44,143
Doesn't mean anything.
It's a piece of paper.
1092
01:14:44,215 --> 01:14:46,649
It's a Xerox
of a piece of paper.
1093
01:14:46,717 --> 01:14:48,651
Do you want
another one?
1094
01:14:48,719 --> 01:14:50,243
Do you want 1 0?
1095
01:14:53,257 --> 01:14:54,485
You want 20?
1096
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,188
30?
1097
01:14:57,261 --> 01:15:00,253
I've got a briefcase full of them.
They mean nothing.
1098
01:15:06,237 --> 01:15:07,829
They mean nothing.
1099
01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:15,340
Get out of my house.
1100
01:15:34,031 --> 01:15:37,467
To put a child in a position
to care about winning
1101
01:15:37,535 --> 01:15:39,867
and not to prepare him
is wrong.
1102
01:15:39,937 --> 01:15:41,370
Get out of my house.
1103
01:15:59,991 --> 01:16:04,087
Look, I know you don't want to admit it,
but he's right.
1104
01:16:04,161 --> 01:16:07,597
I mean, you wouldn't sign your kid up
for little league
1105
01:16:07,665 --> 01:16:10,099
and then not get him
a glove.
1106
01:16:10,167 --> 01:16:11,600
You equip him.
1107
01:16:11,669 --> 01:16:12,601
It's over.
1108
01:16:12,670 --> 01:16:15,104
Bonnie, he's in a slump.
1109
01:16:15,172 --> 01:16:17,106
This is a slump.
It happens.
1110
01:16:17,174 --> 01:16:19,039
When you get into a slump,
1111
01:16:19,110 --> 01:16:22,045
you get out of it eventually.
You don't give up.
1112
01:16:22,113 --> 01:16:24,047
This is like baseball to you.
1113
01:16:24,115 --> 01:16:26,549
If you're afraid to lose,
you lose.
1114
01:16:26,617 --> 01:16:27,549
He's afraid.
1115
01:16:27,618 --> 01:16:30,314
He's not afraid
of losing.
1116
01:16:30,388 --> 01:16:31,980
He's afraid
of losing your love.
1117
01:16:32,056 --> 01:16:33,990
How many ballplayers
grow up
1118
01:16:34,058 --> 01:16:36,686
afraid of losing
their father's love
1119
01:16:36,761 --> 01:16:39,195
every time they come up
to the plate?
1120
01:16:39,263 --> 01:16:40,696
All of them!
1121
01:16:44,035 --> 01:16:46,469
He knows
you disapprove of him.
1122
01:16:46,537 --> 01:16:48,971
He knows you think
he's weak,
1123
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,133
but he's not weak.
1124
01:16:51,208 --> 01:16:53,199
He's decent.
1125
01:16:54,545 --> 01:16:56,979
And if you or Bruce
or anyone else
1126
01:16:57,048 --> 01:16:59,482
tries to beat that
out of him,
1127
01:16:59,550 --> 01:17:02,485
I swear to God
I'll take him away.
1128
01:17:06,290 --> 01:17:09,726
When did you start to get serious
about chess?
1129
01:17:09,794 --> 01:17:11,318
Uh, I got serious, oh...
1130
01:17:13,030 --> 01:17:15,863
hmm, oh, well, I was always
pretty serious about it.
1131
01:17:15,933 --> 01:17:18,993
You know,
when I was maybe 7.
1132
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:26,576
People say they've received letters
from him over the years,
1133
01:17:26,644 --> 01:17:29,238
but never show them.
1134
01:17:31,048 --> 01:17:33,482
They say
he lost his nerve,
1135
01:17:33,551 --> 01:17:36,645
and he'll never play
again.
1136
01:17:38,022 --> 01:17:40,456
They say
he lost his mind
1137
01:17:40,524 --> 01:17:43,960
and roams the streets
of Los Angeles hiding out
1138
01:17:44,028 --> 01:17:45,962

Check.
1141
01:17:49,100 --> 01:17:51,534
Some people say...
1142
01:17:53,170 --> 01:17:54,102
he's dead.
1143
01:17:56,540 --> 01:17:59,475
I think he's lying low
and getting stronger,
1144
01:17:59,543 --> 01:18:03,172
waiting for just the right
moment to come back
1145
01:18:03,247 --> 01:18:05,647
and reclaim his crown.
1146
01:18:33,244 --> 01:18:34,438
Hey, Josh.
1147
01:18:34,512 --> 01:18:35,638
Shh.
1148
01:18:40,974 --> 01:18:43,374

to your room?

01:18:44,511 --> 01:18:46,069

Hey, you know,
1151
01:18:54,388 --> 01:18:57,323
you don't have to
do this anymore.
1152
01:18:57,391 --> 01:19:00,827
You could give it up,
and that's all right with me.
1153
01:19:07,534 --> 01:19:08,626
In fact...
1154
01:19:10,571 --> 01:19:12,300
I want you to.
1155
01:19:15,042 --> 01:19:16,976
How can I do that?
1156
01:19:17,044 --> 01:19:20,104
What do you mean?
You just do it.
1157
01:19:23,483 --> 01:19:25,747
But I have to win.
1158
01:19:27,487 --> 01:19:29,955
No, that's what I'm saying--
you don't.
1159
01:19:30,023 --> 01:19:32,924
But you told me I did.
1160
01:19:32,993 --> 01:19:37,054
Well, I'm telling you now
that you don't.
1161
01:19:38,131 --> 01:19:39,928
But I do.
1162
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,594
I do.
1163
01:19:42,669 --> 01:19:43,601
Why?
1164
01:19:46,006 --> 01:19:47,940
Because I have to.
1165
01:19:50,510 --> 01:19:51,534
Why?
1166
01:19:51,612 --> 01:19:54,046
It doesn't
mean anything.
1167
01:19:54,114 --> 01:19:56,309
It's just a game.
1168
01:19:58,852 --> 01:20:00,479

My teacher taught me.

01:21:54,101 --> 01:21:57,036
Forget it. Play like you used to--
from the gut.

Put it out.
Josh is playing.
1182
01:22:02,109 --> 01:22:05,044
He taught you how not to lose,
not how to win.
1183
01:22:05,112 --> 01:22:08,047
You got to risk losing.
You got to risk everything.

Never play the board,
always the man.

01:22:16,857 --> 01:22:20,224
You got to play the man
playing the board. Play me.

I--I don't know.
1225
01:24:10,403 --> 01:24:14,271

is that he likes playing again

for the first time
in a long time.
1227

I know you think
you're doing what's best,

01:24:19,446 --> 01:24:23,439
but you're setting him up for
the biggest disappointment of his life.

That other kid isn't
spending his afternoons riding bikes

There's not going to be
much left of him.

You have no idea what a fall like this
can do to you.

You know what?
1244
01:25:10,630 --> 01:25:12,928
You should come down
with us.
1245
01:25:12,999 --> 01:25:17,368
It would mean a lot to him to have
you there.
1246
