"A moving exploration of a fascinating figure" - Empire Magazine
 
Bobby Fischer Against the World is the brand new documentary exploring the complex life of the troubled genius whose charisma and talent spurred a worldwide fascination with the “game of kings.”  Fischer’s evolution from his childhood to chess prodigy, global superstar, angry recluse and finally fugitive from the law is a spellbinding story of the making and unmaking of an American icon. 

Focusing extensively on the thrilling 1972 World Championship match between Fischer and Boris Spassky, breaking down the historic tournament game by game, the film features rare archival footage of Bobby as well as insightful interviews with Gary Kasparov, Susan Polgar, Sam Sloan and Dr. Anthony Saidy.

The English Chess Federation is proud to be supporting the release of the film, and in partnership with the film’s distribution company, Dogwoof, is encouraging Chess Clubs across the country to host their own screenings of the film and to become an important part of the UK release. Dogwoof's Ambassadors Programme enables individuals and groups around the UK to bring new films to their communities in an alternative environment, offering more of a screening experience than any cinema.
