Searching for Bobby Fischer

Searching for Bobby Fischer is a famous but unlikable Bobby Fischer. After he beats his dad in a chess match, Josh Waitzkin, a 7-year-old, gets noticed for his talent. He becomes interested in speed chess at the park and learns the game from Vinnie's hustler. However, Josh's parents invest in the services of Bruce (Ben Kingsley), a famous coach who has very different practices. Between Bruce's methods and the stress of the competitions, Josh learns that even a chess prodigy cannot make all the right moves.

Searching for Bobby Fischer is such a great film! It’s a good intelligent story about a very bright, very young kid who is discovered to be naturally good at chess and enters serious national tournaments.

The creativity in this film is awesome! The movie is full of powerful scenes with powerful lessons. It does not matter whether you are interested in chess because the movie still keeps you captivated.

If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. It may just change your life.

Thanks for reading!
