A Reflection on "Searching for Bobby Fischer"
Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 6:31PM
Sportswriter Michael Weinreb offers high praise of both Fred Waitzkin's Searching for Bobby Fischer and screenwriter Steven Zaillian's better-known film adaptation of the work in this essay, and it's worth your time to read it - if only to encourage other writers to favorably discuss our game. I imagine that most of my U.S. audience is familiar with those works, but those of you who aren't may very well want to check them out for yourselves, especially if you are a parent of kids involved with scholastic chess.
