[ Josh ]|In the days before the event,
he had the whole world|wondering if he would show up.
while he napped
or took walks|and ate sandwiches.
Henry Kissinger called
and asked him to go|for his country's honor.
Soon after arriving,
he offended the Icelanders
by calling their country|inadequate
because they had|no bowling alleys.
He complained|about the TV cameras,
about the lighting,
about|the table and chairs,
and the contrast of|the squares on the board.
His hotel room, he said,|Had too nice a view.
None of this had anything|to do with chess, of course...
or maybe it did.
If he won,
he'd be the first|American world champion in history.
If he lost,
he'd just be another|patzer from Brooklyn.
On the 40th move|Of the 21st game,
he countered|Spassky's bishop to king-6
with a pawn to rook-4.
And it was all over.
He came home|An American hero.
He bragged to the world|he'd beat the Russians.
He delivered.
He can now command|The same money
as heavy weight prize fighters.
He was invited to dinner|By statesmen and kings.
Then Bobby Fischer made the most|original, unexpected move of all.
He disappeared.
[ Girl ]|Where is he?
[ Boy One ]|Maybe he gave up.
[ Boy Two ]|Shh.
Do you see anything?
[ Boy Three ]|I think we lost him.
[ Boy Four ]|It's cold. Let's go home.
[Josh ] lf he doesn't find us|in two hours,
I say we go.
Hello, boys.
Aah!|Aah!
[ Man ]|Theo, what are you doing here?
I thought you wanted|to go home.
[ Men Talking ]
I have to buckle|my own shoes, right?
You said something
about rolling on your own side|of the board, right?
This is my side.
Remember that?
Roll it on|your own side.
You talk too much.
You talk too much.
[ Thunderclap ]
Josh?
Josh?
[ Man ]|Your move.
Josh!
[ Fred ]|That's good.
Well, there you go.
Not too much,|but that's good.
A little more.
Yeah. That's good.
You got to be careful|not to use it too much,
but you want|just enough.
A little more.|That's great.
O.K.
How's that look to you?
Pretty good.
Good.
Now rub that in there.
See how the leather|drinks that up?
That's got|a great smell, huh?
Smell that.
Yeah. Great. O.K.
Now...
Ohh.
What's wrong?
I forgot to buy|a ball.
Do you believe it?
You got to put a ball|in the pocket.
A hard ball...
to get the shape right.
Yeah.
That'll work.
O.K.
Put that in like that...
bend that over.
All right.|Get in bed.
Tomorrow I buy|a real baseball.
You know what?
I don't believe this.
I can't believe it.
What?
You're 7.
Happy birthday.
Good night, Josh.
Good night.
[ Bell Rings ]
Josh!
Bye.
How was school?
Good.
O.K. Bye.
Bye. See ya.|How you doing?
Fine. Bye.
Bye-bye. See ya.
Are you in the mood|for some pizza?
I don't know.|Are you?
Are you feeling|all right?
Yeah. Why?
Where we going|to get pizza?
You want to go watch the men|in the park?
What men in the park?
I'm going to smack|this guy's ass, man.
There's fire|in the bush.
It ain't over.|We still got a minute.
When it slaps 1 2:00,|then it's over.
Then it's over.
[ First Man ]|We playing chess.
[ Second Man ]|What we playing here?
We playing chess.
Now we playing chess.
Come on, Josh,|let's go.
Is that the best you got?
That's the best you got?
You ain't got nothing.
You sure|you've played this game?
You want to go to Chinatown|and play Chinese checkers?
No, that ain't it.
You want that? O.K.
You can have that.
But you can't have that.|That's my baby.
You got to leave with that.
You can't trade queens|with me.
I ain't in|the trading business.
What you trying to do?
