Searching for Bobby Fischer Movie on DVD
Searching for Bobby Fischer is the best mainstream chess movie ever made. It is a great family film that reinforces positive attributes like dedication, patience, good sportsmanship, but most importantly - perspective. A great movie for young chess players and their parents... or old chess players and their kids!PLOT SUMMARY: Josh Waitzkin is just a typical American boy interested in baseball when one day he challenges his father at chess and wins. Showing unusual precocity at the outdoor matches at Washington Square in New York City, he quickly makes friends with a hustler named Vinnie who teaches him speed chess. Josh's parents hire a renowned chess coach, Bruce, who teaches Josh the usefulness of measured planning. Along the way Josh becomes tired of Bruce's system and chess in general and purposely throws a match, leaving the prospects of winning a national championship in serious jeopardy.Rated PG, DVD Region 1 (US, Canada only), 109 minutes, widescreen version
