Chess Prodigy, Bobby Fischer died in 2008 at the age of 64. The same year, Liz Garbus (Director), began work on this HBO distributed documentary, finally released in 2011. The editor was Karen Schmeer; who incidentally, was killed in January 2010. Apparently she was the victim of a hit-and-run-driver, allegedly trying to flee a robbery at a pharmacy. In 1972, (then aged just 29), Bobby was poised to become the World Chess champion. Such as it was, his life was one mired in controversy and intrigue. The documentary reveals a shroud of mystery about many details of this man who rose to Global Prominence, yet is a lucid and coherent story, patched together from a wealth of TV footage and interviews with people who knew him. Overall there may be many questions left un-answered, but none-the-less, this is a remarkable documentary about a remarkable individual, whose name will long endure in the Chess World he sought to conquer. Coincidentally perhaps, Bobby Fischer died in his 64th year; the same number as there are squares on a chess board.
