      Not every abandoned pawn deserves sympathy

      I don't know how to play chess. As a post-80s chess player, one of the chess players I can name is Kasparov and the other is Qi Jingxuan.
      The former was famous all over the world when I was studying, and I won Computer Deep Blue. The latter was what I saw when I was reading reportage, and it was the subject of my own literary literacy when I was a child. I have no idea whether Bobby Fisher was mentioned in the article. In terms of time, they are a generation. As far as this movie is...

      Don't let the needle fall to the ground

      This is an afterthought. Last night, I watched "Chess to Win" and thought it was good, like writing about what I saw in the film.
      First let's briefly tell the story. This film is adapted from a true story. It takes place during the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting against each other in all aspects. The appearance of the chess genius Bob Fisher makes the United States hope to regain the United States and the Soviet Union in the losing battle. a city. Bob is an...

      A chess player who is fighting against himself

      I don't know why I thought of "Forrest Gump", maybe the two protagonists are more or less flawed, so their experiences will be a little different from normal people. It's just that Bobby has reached the pinnacle in the professional field of chess, and his development path is completely different from Forrest Gump.

      Because of Forrest Gump's physical defects, his life and emotions may not be as complete as ordinary people. In fact, it should be said that Forrest Gump lives a more pure...

      Life is like a chess game, winning by surprise

      Fisher was the first world chess champion in American history to defeat the Soviet Union, but he was already hallucinating while playing. There is a scene in the movie where his coach mentions that there was also a good American chess player who was one step away from the world champion, but was insane. A genius and a lunatic are just one thought. When Fisher was in the final, he refused to get on the plane because of the reporter's photography. When I arrived in Iceland, in the first game of...

      Play chess to win, discard pawn

      When you want to achieve something, you have to give up something. The
      movie tells the story of American chess master Bob Fisher, how he became a world master step by step and defeated the Soviet chess master during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1970s. .
      He pays attention to concentration in learning chess, and can't make any sound when playing chess. In order to avoid sound interference, he doesn't even play against Soviet opponents on the stage,...

    Background creation

    "Pawn Sacrifice" is based on the real history of chess in the last century. During the U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony in the last century, another contest was also going on. In the chess world, the first few seats have been controlled by the Soviet Union. The mathematics and philosophical wisdom of the old Tsarist Russia seems to have been mocking the IQ of the upstart Yankees on the chessboard. The youngest chess king in the United...
