“Pawn Sacrifice” gives up its full story for Fischer’s glory

By Andrew Kingsley | October 25, 2015

Edward Zwick’s “Pawn Sacrifice” (2015), however, looks back at Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire), the 1972 Chess World Champion who single-handedly conquered the Soviet Chess Empire during the Cold War, showing us that irascible geniuses didn’t just work in ones and zeroes but also in pawns and knights.

By Andrew Kingsley | October 18, 2015
