Jean, This is an excellent movie on the life of the chess master, Bobby Fischer. Tobey Maguire plays Bobbie and he will probably get an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the mentally disturbed character. He has this great "flat look" and ability to explode at the right times. It all leads to early 1970's and the big championship series of games with the Russian World Champion, Boris Spassky, in Iceland. You do not have to know the game of chess to appreciate the chess moves and why a player may lose. Also in the cast are Peter Sarsgaard and Liev Schreiber. The end of the movie presents actual film of the real Bobby Fischer and his many strange actions following the Iceland World Championship.
