  • Bobby Fischer Movie

    My fellow serious chess collector and friend, WK of Toronto, has pointed out the following interesting websites.

    This one has a "trailer" of the new movie regarding his life. It is rather a long trailer. At one point, the Ks and Qs are set up wrong on the board! He saw it published at the newsgroup rec.chess.games.misc.

    Here is the Press release:

    World Wide Premiere of "Bobbie Fischer Live" Scheduled for November
    10, 2009

    Los Angeles, CA -- Controversial Producer Director Damian Chapa will
    host the world Premiere of ‘Bobby Fischer Live' about the life story
    of Bobby Fischer.

    Bobby Fischer is considered to be the greatest chess player of all
    time who defeated the Russian Champion Boris Spassky during the cold
    war. The Chess match was historical in bringing relations between the
    USA and Russia to a more calm and cordial state as well as elevating
    chess to a mainstream sport.

    Where: FAIRFAX THEATER 7907 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 9004

    When: November 10, 2009
    RED CARPET : 6:30 pm
    PREMIERE: 7:30 pm
    RSVP REQUIRED

    After his win Bobby Fischer became a recluse, resurfacing only for a
    rematch against Spassky in Yugoslavia. Ignoring sanctions in place by
    the United States he played a 3 million dollar rematch against
    Spassky, causing the United States to issue a warrant for Fischer's
    arrest.

    Fischer was taken into custody in Japan as a result. After Fischer was
    released he went into exile in Iceland, the only country who would
    give him a passport.

    Because of Fischer ‘s loss of his US citizenship he could not return
    to his home in Brooklyn NY. Fischer spent the rest of his life in
    seclusion traveling abroad, and developed a deep seated hatred against
    the USA and its policies. He also began to spiral down into
    psychological torment and as a result developed a strange rant of
    terrorist like hatred towards America even on the day of 911. Fischer
    also developed hatred towards Israel even becoming anti semitic even
    though he himself was Jewish.

    Chapa directed and starred in the feature film that spans the entire
    life of one of the most controversial historic figures in The United
    States who is considered by all to be the greatest chess player ever.

    Worldwide rights available for the feature film through Amadeus
    Pictures. damianartist@gmail.com - www.amadeuspictures.com




    Another movie is supposedly being made about the book, "Bobby Fischer Goes to War" but this one was posted almost two years ago, so one has to wonder...

    I am not trying to ignite a maelstrom of discussion about Fischer's strengths and weaknesses, merely providing some information you may not have seen yet!
