Synopsis – What to Expect from “Bobby Fischer Against the World”
Bobby Fischer Against the World tells the story of the rise and fall of the legendary chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. The film follows Fischer from his early days as a child prodigy, to his meteoric rise to become the world chess champion in 1972.
The film begins with Fischer’s early days as a chess prodigy. We follow Fischer as he studies the game and quickly outgrows his opponents. His success brings him to the attention of the world chess community and soon he is competing in tournaments around the world.
As Fischer’s fame grows, so does his arrogance and paranoia. He begins to withdraw from the public eye and becomes increasingly erratic in his behavior. His demands for larger prize money and better conditions for tournaments become increasingly outrageous.
The climax of the film comes when Fischer faces off against the Soviet world champion Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship. The match becomes a symbol of the Cold War and is watched by millions of people around the world. Fischer eventually triumphs and becomes the world champion.
However, Fischer’s victory leads to a decline in his mental health. He becomes increasingly reclusive and paranoid, and eventually withdraws from competitive chess. The film ends with a look at Fischer’s later years, as he struggles with his mental health and his legacy as one of the greatest chess players of all time.
