Bobby Fischer Against the World

When he was only 15, Bobby Fischer became one of the most dominant forces in world chess when he became the youngest ever Grandmaster and a candidate for World Chess Champion. Yet his life never seemed to be the same after his famous encounter with Russian player Boris Spasky in Reykjavik in 1972. This fascinating documentary traces his life from his earliest days as the brilliant son of idealistic Polish-Jewish parents to his last days living as a mysterious 'stateless alien’ far from public view – with much of his life and reputation caught up in the propaganda of Cold War politics.
