Nah. They should have used the guy who played dr. Who and the the dark elf from thor 2 , and he also played the main villain in gone in sixty seconds ... he looks just like Fischer
I liked the movie but I wish they would have added Mikhail Tal to the cast. Thing is Tal used to stare at people and Fischer hated it. It would have been a nice touch to the movie.
Given how their respective countries treated them, it's no surprise both Fischer and Spassky became ex-pats, and friends. Spassky of course with better mental health than Bobby had. But he didn't let it affect their friendship

It seems that this scene is most likely referring to Fischer - Reshevsky, Sousse Interzonal Tournament, round 11, November 1967. Having forfeited his round 10 game against Gipslis (and having forfeited a couple games against Reshevsky in the past) Fischer arrived 10 minutes before the forfeit time, but then spent 5 more minutes doing other things before sitting down at the board. Fischer went on to win in 46 moves. Round 14 he dropped out of the interzonal when the organizers upheld his forfeit loss to Gipslis. Chessmetrics ranks the 56 year old Reshevsky at 23rd in the world at the time (while it places the 24 year old Fischer as 1st). However, Reshevsky was ranked by Chessmetrics as #1 in the world several times between 1942 and 1953.
A quick Fischer story, in 2014 the strongest Chess tournament in history was held in St. Louis. One player went on an amazing SEVEN game winning streak. It was unheard of! Amazing! Everyone lauded him and even the world champion (who lost) this year said his confidence was higher because this amazing seven game winning fluke could not happen again. Of course it didn't and the guy who won seven game straight came in last place this year. But, Fischer had TWO 19+ game winning streaks in top level play (including the US Championship and World championship cycles) ! He only lost his second 20+ game winning streak (to the ex-world champion) when he lost after playing with a 102 degree fever, refusing a sick day. The man was the best....period.
Murray Melander He certainly had access to quite good ones, and in 2004-5 Chessbase was quite established with databases in the millions of games. He almost played a match with Kramnik.
+Murray Melander thats actually an advantage for bobby when it comes to winning streaks, computer analysis often works as a sort of equalizer for players, which makes winning streaks harder. In fact if you talk to a 50+ years old GM they will tell you that even amateurs are now harder to beat. In the 90s it would be routine for a GM to beat a 2000 in 20 or so moves, nowadays the 2000 player is often as well prepared as the GM in the opening and the wins require a lot more work.
Renan Braz Parente A 2000 ELO chess-player has about a .05% chance of beating a 2500 ELO player. If the 2500 player does not do what his rating says, his rating will drop accordingly and visa versa.
Jim Walker i'm not sure about your numbers of .05%, that is one in 2000, i did the math some years back, i dont remember the result and i'm to lazy to do it now but the chance is way bigger than what you say, over 20 times bigger. Nevertheless that has nothing to do with what i said. Obviously if both guys play the first 15 moves like 3000 players and the rest of the game to their true strength that benefits the weaker player, so winning streaks become harder, mr. Murray tried to argue that not having computer aid makes Fischers winning streak more impressive, and i'm saying it doesnt, quite the contrary, not having computers is what made those streaks possible in the first place. Your comment has nothing to do with my point.
The greatest player that ever played the game, and the reason my father taught me the Ruy Lopez as my first opening when he introduced me to the game at 10 years of age! The game is about creativity, cunning, character, genius and intimidation--Bobby rarely drew, he was over 6' tall, athletic and strong for a chess player--he psyched them out before he even made the first move!!
+Ambisinistro Yes, I just wish they would tone down the blue-brown colour effect a bit. I realize it is often used to invoke a historical atmosphere, but it looks *too* unnatural to my eyes.
My favorite chess scene is from saved by the Bell when zack bets on screech to win the tournament but realizes he has to play spasskys nephew ... so zack kidnaps the kid , poses as him , and after screech first move zack says ... you're too good screechmovich and resigns lmaooooo. This is hilarious because just like this movie that show butchers chess .
I will enjoy this movie. Bobby was a force and it will be entertaining to revisit his adventures. Poetic license is allowed and encouraged, especially with names. Looking forward to the release.
Fischer played Borislav Ivkov in his first game of this tournament. So I don't know why they chose Ivanovic, but it doesn't really matter though, still a great movie.
I was wanting to watch this movie, being in the chess world now it's bought up here and there, always wanted to see if it was worth it...pretty sure I'll be just fine if I never see another second of it.
There is usually default time you have to start the game and make your first move. Here it was 60 minutes. In rapid tournaments it is usually 5 or 7 minutes even though whole time you have may be 15 minutes .If you have white pieces, player with black pieces starts the clock ( also arbiter may do it ). In last year blitz championships Carlsen arrived so late he had only 30 seconds left on clock. He still won the game though since there was increment per move .
He doesn't really look like Bobby Fischer, yet if he's good in the role, that could be a nice movie. I can't find any information about a chess player named Valentin Ivanovich but there's a Russian military officer who acted in the cold war named Valentin Ivanovich Varennikov. They could have chosen this name on purpose.
+Sourand Bitter I think Matthew McConaughey would have been a good fit. Just tweak his Rustin Cohle persona a bit and I think you would get an awesome Bobby Fischer.
+Landau Agree. Actually, the numerous complaints and antics used by Fischer were relatively mild compared to the later years semifinals and championship matches of Spassky, Korchnoi and Karpov, to name just a few.
Whenever somebody says "Tobey Maguire doesn't look like Bobby Fischer" I'm kind of thinking "yeah, but frankly who in Hollywood looks like Bobby Fischer? Better yet, who would do a better job expressing the character?".
He is already 59 minutes late to the game . You can recognize it by looking at 00:29, where one clock shows almost 4 o'clock and the other one 5 o'clock. However, on second thought, if I'm right, then his flag should have been falling. Also, why is Ivanovich's minute hand is not completely vertical as it should be on the start of the game? By all means not a bad scene, but unfortunately not realistic either.
I haven't been able to see this film yet. Obviously GM "Ivanovich" was fictional and certainly did not rank fourth at the time. (Bozidar Ivanovich was from a somewhat later era). In the film, why did Fischer let his clock run out and what finally happened?
+beer patzer Actually I'd say Ivanovich sounds more typical to the average American. Spassky definitely sounds "funnier." Resembles the word spaz (as in spastic), has the word 'ass' in it, ends in an "ee" sound. I can already hear the snickers in the audience.
+Onat Özdemir I can't stop cringing. I'm American though and there are plenty of actors and producers that would have got it closer to "right." You've been watching too much news.
+Onat Özdemir yeh this is absolutely horrible, and why is peter parker cast as Fischer? Fischer was 6'1, Tobey Maguire is barely 5'7, completely negates the presence that Fischer had.
It seems the movie could have been better made, more accurate with names and events and with an actor that actually physically resembled Fischer. both in size and looks. Maguire is softly spoken and is boyish. However as a Fischer fan I am pleased to see a movie that's very much part of chess history.
This movie was unfortunately very bad, not to mention how historically inaccurate it was. When you make a biopic it simply has to be as true to the events in real life as possible, and this movie didn't even tried. If you want to see a good chess movie watch "Searching for Bobby Fischer" with sir Ben Kingsley
Fei Li dude if the movie was hisrorically accurate it would be even worst, movies have to change certain aspects of history to make their story more appealing than it actually is.
That game was probably played at the typical time control at the time, where each player was given 2.5 hours to play their first 40 moves. However, then and now, if a player is more than an hour late to make his first move, he is forfeited.
Could be the worst casting decision ever. They took a small, cute, emotionally balanced actor and stuck him in the place of a lenky, brooding, awkward genius. This still bothers me years later
Sorry if I come off as a troll but...my God his acting is so bad. Just watch the documentaries of Bobby Fischer. This is purely for cinematic purposes. :(
***** Totally agree man. I love Maguire from spiderman, but this was just a wrong casting of him haha. Oh well, maybe they'll try again in the future like the Steve Jobs movie (Kutcher was a disaster also there!)
+Alexander Køpke Watch it, even if it's for bashing it afterrward. I'm sure there will be good things in it , differents grandmaster helped the crew of the film to make it right.
Side note: Tobey Maguire actually looks a lot closer to Anatoly Karpov than anywhere near Bobby Fischer.
agreed. Instead, they could've put Nicolas Cage as bobby (there's a good resemblance there) and then Tobey as Anatoly Karpov
Nice observation! Hehe
Nah. They should have used the guy who played dr. Who and the the dark elf from thor 2 , and he also played the main villain in gone in sixty seconds ... he looks just like Fischer
Yeah, but he also doesn't behave at all like Fischer, so that's pretty consistent.
@@no-one-in-particular agreed
I liked the movie but I wish they would have added Mikhail Tal to the cast. Thing is Tal used to stare at people and Fischer hated it. It would have been a nice touch to the movie.
Tal was also one of few with a positive record against Fischer
This is supposed to be about Fischer, Tal would have stolen the show :P
If this were a movie about Tal, the title would be Queen Sacrifice (this also applies to Rashid Nezhmetdinov; he almost always sacrificed his queen).
Korchnoi would have been fine also. They did not have Petrosian in the film either.
Tal was a friend of Fischer's, one of the few, and I agree, am surprised he was not rolled in this film.
I loved this movie. I like how Spassky also started to go crazy and paranoid toward the end.
Wait til you hear what happened to Bobby!
Given how their respective countries treated them, it's no surprise both Fischer and Spassky became ex-pats, and friends. Spassky of course with better mental health than Bobby had. But he didn't let it affect their friendship
Russia did spy on Spassky as well
@@MrCheezeHe wasn’t crazy. Just telling the truth people couldn’t accept. Anyone whose unbiased and has a functioning brain can see it. They just deny it to live in their false reality.
Spoiler alert:
the move was followed by:
1... e5
2. Ke2 resign
the famed bongcloud
Can u please share the pgn of that match??
Too scared?
Hikaru be like "bobby stole my opening"
McGuire was AMAZING in this role. If you think he was bad, you either haven't seen this film or you don't know good acting if it hit you in the face.
Nah they are just worried about how different bobby looked. not one person had problem with the acting
@@zah936 Not just how different he looked, but how different he acted. His character was completely wrong.
Random man:“He’s the third best player in the world”
Bully Maguire: “I missed the part where that’s my problem”
Ahahhahahahah
Random man: "Good luck, shake hands and may the best man win"
Bully Maguire: "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye"
Random man: "I'm wearing my best suit for the Chess tournament"
Bully Maguire: "That's cute! Did your husband give that to you?"
"It was like a building fell on me"
I had that thought after work last Friday.
Pizza time
HOLY!! dude you make laugh a lot
"Im not paying for those"
That was my favorite clip of the whole movie. Brilliant.
I want more movies withTobey!
Spider man I miss you
Fischer was like Tyson. At his peak opponents were defeated before the first punch was thrown.
Kasparov had a similar effect on people.
Tyson? Really? It’s way more correct to compare him with Ali. He’d destroyed everyone at the time, and they’ve been doing their stuff in closer time period then Bobby and Tyson.

In 1967 Reshevsky was World #19. Petrosian was #3 and Spassky/Fischer tied #1.

I didn't know peter parker could play chess
His Spider Powers not only gave him super strenghth and super agility, but super intelligence to play Chess at a Grand Master level.
His strategy is to put dirt in their eyes.
♻️
Seeing Tobey doing a New York Accent here when he didn't do one for his entirety of playing spider-man is honestly very strange.
Not evwee-one in New Yolk has the Bwooklyn accent.
The greatest player that ever played the game, and the reason my father taught me the Ruy Lopez as my first opening when he introduced me to the game at 10 years of age!
The game is about creativity, cunning, character, genius and intimidation--Bobby rarely drew, he was over 6' tall, athletic and strong for a chess player--he psyched them out before he even made the first move!!
I am already super hype about seeing this movie tommorrow. This made the feeling 30934238490328 times more intence
You cut out the best part.
“ It was like a building was falling on top of me” 🤣🤣
Honestly I'd love to see real boris spassky cameo in this film
+rj3435 How does him retiring from chess have anything to do with him randomly appearing in the film. Like just in the crowd somewhere .
+rj3435 would be cool though
I wish William lombardy was in the movie too
tobey maguire 👍 this film
cant wait for this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that look at the very end, is priceless
Nice! Nice cinematography. I want to watch this movie now.
+Ambisinistro Yes, I just wish they would tone down the blue-brown colour effect a bit. I realize it is often used to invoke a historical atmosphere, but it looks *too* unnatural to my eyes.

This is hilarious because just like this movie that show butchers chess .
hey that's a mental strategy. Lots of players do it.
Wow!! I have to see this film again! hahaha
A player surprised is half beaten
I will enjoy this movie. Bobby was a force and it will be entertaining to revisit his adventures. Poetic license is allowed and encouraged, especially with names. Looking forward to the release.
I realy need make download this movie.
Really excited! >:D
1:26 Bobby just won.
Tobey did his best to play Fischer but honestly they are so different from each other
just another tuesday for Magnus and his Waterbottle
I'm betting Mr. Fischer won that game, despite losing one hour on the clock.
This is how Miyamoto Musashi beat Sasaki Kojiro
Maybe he beat him because of his sword skill ?
Unintentionnal mindgames are great for chess players, bobby's quirky/weird antics always helped him out until he decided to not play anymore...
name of the movie?
That's actually very smart what he did. first move before the match even began.
lol this is so hilarious in an underhanded way
One of my favourite scenes, but the cut to the car where the fourth best chess player is sitting on his way back to the hotel is missing.
Good or Bad, I'm going to see this movie.
Thought I clicked on a Spider-Man video at the start
Fischer played Borislav Ivkov in his first game of this tournament. So I don't know why they chose Ivanovic, but it doesn't really matter though, still a great movie.
Good film
So that's where Spiderman went...
1:04 ...Brent Larsen?
He is playing Miguel Naijdorf too!
lololololol
It's Bent, not Brent...
Bent Larsen, aka "The Great Dane"
LOLOLOLOL
does anyone notice they changed Bent Larsen to Brent Larsen? also, Ivanovich? Either way, I'm looking forward to the release.
I think Ivanovich is their version of Vartanovich, as in Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian, The Iron Tiger.
Is that Karpov? Or Fischer?
I am saying to see the movie
I was expecting Nicolas Cage to play the role because they are look alike.
Movie name please
Whats the name of this movie? Can't wait to see it!
Pawn Sacrifice
you can see the video title..*:(
And he proceeds to dismantle the guy in the chessboard lol.
Superheroes shouldn’t be able to compete in chess.
it doesn't matter if you don't make your move while you are at the board
HE THOUGHT!
what is spiderman doing
I was wanting to watch this movie, being in the chess world now it's bought up here and there, always wanted to see if it was worth it...pretty sure I'll be just fine if I never see another second of it.
Could someone explain what would happen if it hit 60? And why it was counting down if both players weren't seated?
If you dont show up to the game on time your clock is started for you as if you were there anyhow. Thats pretty much it.
Not exactly.
There is usually default time you have to start the game and make your first move. Here it was 60 minutes. In rapid tournaments it is usually 5 or 7 minutes even though whole time you have may be 15 minutes .If you have white pieces, player with black pieces starts the clock ( also arbiter may do it ).
In last year blitz championships Carlsen arrived so late he had only 30 seconds left on clock. He still won the game though since there was increment per move .
Who is the Soviet player? Is it Taimanov?
When this movie will be out???
I think Sep 5 in the US & Sep 15 worldwide.
Martin Riggs thanks!
He doesn't really look like Bobby Fischer, yet if he's good in the role, that could be a nice movie.
I can't find any information about a chess player named Valentin Ivanovich but there's a Russian military officer who acted in the cold war named Valentin Ivanovich Varennikov. They could have chosen this name on purpose.
+Sourand Bitter I think Matthew McConaughey would have been a good fit. Just tweak his Rustin Cohle persona a bit and I think you would get an awesome Bobby Fischer.
+Sourand Bitter In what little bit is seen here, Macguire appears to have Bobby's Brooklyn accent down and his gate, the way he walks down pat.
he is more athletic than Tobey, but he did a good job
Bobby is so short.
0:37 he is 110% done with this bullshit. haha.
Tilt
I hope they described Bobby accurately in the movie
+Ben Pork they didn't, they made a mockery of him. Fischer would be much more subtle with his mindgames
+Landau Agree. Actually, the numerous complaints and antics used by Fischer were relatively mild compared to the later years semifinals and championship matches of Spassky, Korchnoi and Karpov, to name just a few.
+hagnuj I would love to see Cage do this. It would be nonstop laughs.
Whenever somebody says "Tobey Maguire doesn't look like Bobby Fischer" I'm kind of thinking "yeah, but frankly who in Hollywood looks like Bobby Fischer? Better yet, who would do a better job expressing the character?".
Man 1 : Give me rent.
Bobby : Ah yes yes will you give this to my mom.
What if Bobby wants to think about the 1st move more than 60 seconds? I doubt that he really had to make a move in only a minute
He is already 59 minutes late to the game . You can recognize it by looking at 00:29, where one clock shows almost 4 o'clock and the other one 5 o'clock.
However, on second thought, if I'm right, then his flag should have been falling. Also, why is Ivanovich's minute hand is not completely vertical as it should be on the start of the game?
By all means not a bad scene, but unfortunately not realistic either.
He should have mixed up the pieces and played 960, would be a fuck of allot more exciting than position #518.
good job tobey without beard movie 2009 2011 2013 2014 2010
Yo! Far Out! wrench vague What do you think, guys?

whhaat is the name of this movie :D ??

ivanovich? did they change peoples names?
+josofo2 You have Larsen and Najdorf on the adjacent board, so probably not.
I would be more worried about OVERdramatization...
+beer patzer Actually I'd say Ivanovich sounds more typical to the average American. Spassky definitely sounds "funnier." Resembles the word spaz (as in spastic), has the word 'ass' in it, ends in an "ee" sound. I can already hear the snickers in the audience.
+josofo2 I believe that is Bozidar Ivanovich, the Yugoslavian player. He's rated around 2400 now.
True, but he did exist. :/
***** talking about Ivanovich...
Sucks they put Spider-Man to represent Bobby, they don’t look anything alike, and their voices are different...

w.c.
Sorry, Tobes, yer just not a Bobby Fischer.
as usual pitting against Russia sounds too good.
Had fischer really played the whole game with that much left time??? 😱😱😱
That game was probably played at the typical time control at the time, where each player was given 2.5 hours to play their first 40 moves. However, then and now, if a player is more than an hour late to make his first move, he is forfeited.
Could be the worst casting decision ever. They took a small, cute, emotionally balanced actor and stuck him in the place of a lenky, brooding, awkward genius. This still bothers me years later
If they got someone more like Fischer, it would turn off most movie-goers. The casting people went for a known quantity in the movie business.
Spiderman
Sorry if I come off as a troll but...my God his acting is so bad. Just watch the documentaries of Bobby Fischer. This is purely for cinematic purposes. :(

great film and toby maguire is excellent- So I disagree -strongly
I think they could have picked a better suited actor for fischer like Michael Shannon
