5. Bobby Fischer Against The World

Time for a closer look at a true world champion, the chess Grandmaster, Bobby Fischer. Yes, chess. Before the classic strategy games of the 21st century like Minecraft, Bejewelled and Candy Crush Saga there was good, old fashioned, hands-on, black and white chess. And Bobby Fischer was king. Set in the middle of the Cold War between US and the Soviet Union, Bobby Fischer Against the World tells the story of a Chicago-born genius who took on the Russians at their own mind game. Bobby Fischer Against the World features archive footage from the 1972 World Chess Championship and a bunch of chess wizards you've never heard of. It'll be niche for some, but it's a moment in time, captured on film. and available now.
