New Clip from ‘Pawn Sacrifice’: Doubts About Fischer

Pawn Sacrifice, the newest retelling of the “Match of the Century,” the chess battle between Bobby Fischer–played by Tobey McGuire, who certainly knows how to act the vulnerable genius–and Boris Spassky during the Cold War. The game resulted in Bobby Fischer becoming the second American to win the World Championship. Fischer’s mastery of chess was admirable. His mastery of social behavior less so, and he left many wondering whether or not he would even play. Pawn Sacrifice dramatizes this balance of genius and eccentricity in the champion.

Pawn Sacrifice is playing in theaters now.
