Bobby Fischer against the world (2011 HBO)

700 MB AVI
HBO brings a film that explores the complex story of a brilliant but troubled man who became a worldwide chess prodigy, seemingly tormented and destructive as his reputation grew. Hailed as a chess genius before puberty, Bobby Fischer’s mother pushed his early obsession with chess. In 1958, 14-year-old Robert James “Bobby” Fischer stunned the chess world by becoming the youngest grandmaster in history, launching a career that would make him a legend. Then the next decade and a half, his rise to the top of the game riveted the world and inspired an international chess phenomenon. And then Fischer disappeared from the public eye.

Many people know the basic rules of chess, but few can play really well. This programme offers some essential tips on how to raise our game.

British grandmasters Dan King and Ray Keene go through a special demonstration game from opening gambit to checkmate, revealing the key moves that can lead to victory. They explain the opening, middle and end games, and how to outwit an opponent with techniques such as forks, pins and skewers.

Along the way the colourful and diverse world of British chess playing is celebrated, including speed chess and chess boxing, and useful advice is offered on how not to be humiliated by a child prodigy.

Game over - Kasparov and the machine (2003)

 

Garry Kasparov is arguably the greatest chess player who has ever lived. In 1997 he played a chess match against IBM’s computer Deep Blue. Kasparov lost the match. This film shows the match and the events surrounding it from Kasparov’s perspective. It delves into the psychological aspects of the game, paranoia surrounding it and suspicions that have arisen around IBM’s true tactics. It consists of interviews with Kasparov, his manager, chess experts, and members of the IBM Deep Blue team, as well as original footage of the match itself.

The good parts of the movie is that you have interviews with Kasparov and the IBM team. Kasparov is a charming guy. The IBM team are open and friendly. The movie shows both the bad and good sides of Kasparov, who displays dignity and his temper when he is being pushed around by IBM. The Deep Blue team are interesting, but the IBM company does not come off well. They milk the match for all advertising they could get. The movie keeps touting that it was a victory of machine intelligence over Man, but the point I get from it is, several computer geeks and chess grand masters after years of effort can put together a program that can barely beat a world champion, if they take every single psychological and technical advantage they can.
