Pawn Sacrifice

I grew up in a chess household, and thus with the name Bobby Fischer. I knew of his genius and his struggles with mental health when I was very young and have always followed his life with great interest. "Pawn Sacrifice" is a fairly accurate portrait of his mental illness but left too many of the details of his life open for question. There was a lot of interesting story left out, which made me rather sad. However, Wood was brilliant in this, and gained it back half of a star. And, just for the record, I believe Kasparov would have beaten Fischer had they met in their prime. 3.5/5
