Day 2 – Bobby Fischer Against The World, The Turin Horse Reviewed by Adam Whyte on June 16. Today i had two bona-fide geniuses to deal with: Bobby Fischer and Belá Tarr. My documentary of the festival, however, has to be Liz Garbus's brilliant Bobby Fischer Against The World. Joe Bob Fisher, 42, of Carthage, passed away Thursday, June 16, 2011, at his residence.

The documentary chronicles the tragic life of World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Liz Garbus is one of the most pre-eminent documentary filmmakers of the day. Her best-known film may be the prison documentary The Farm: Angola, usa , which won the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award. Clint Everts and Bobby Korecky each tossed a perfect inning with Korecky Oscar Tejeda drove in the only other Portland run in the sixth inning on an rbi groundout. Fischer, one of the greatest chess players of all time, was also a recluse who made anti-american and anti-semitic statements and seemed increasingly lost in the depths of his own mind. Director Liz Garbus’s achievement is in making Bobby Fischer’s story palpable to an audience that may have been too young to witness Fischer capture American pop culture like some Michael Jackson with an endgame, or to those who’ve forgotten how his skills took hold of the nation’s thinking, even bumping Watergate updates from the evening news. Academy Award nominated director Liz Garbus speaks to CBSNews.com’s Rick Borutta about “bobby Fischer Against the World,” her hbo documentary about the fallen chess hero. It’s a bit odd that “bobby Fischer Against the World,” Liz Garbus’s confident yet morose documentary about the mentally troubled 1972 world chess champion, doesn’t have any surprise moves up its sleeve. You may not learn a lot about chess in Bobby Fischer Against the World, Liz Garbus’s well-documented film about arguably the greatest and most tragic chess player that ever lived. It was the chess match of the century.
