I'll definitely watch the movie. I wouldn't fret over the "Bobby Fischer Goes to War" film not getting made. The media hardly ever got it right with respect to Bobby. I first started playing in tournaments around the time we were following the 1972 World Championship with Master Shelby Lyman on Channel 13. It sure caught the world's attention when in the interzonals he blanked both Mark Taimanov and Bent Larson 6-0 each.. no losses and no draws.. Wow! His sometimes carefully parced words often went over everyone's head. I wasn't surprised when he beat Boris Spassky in Belgrade during the return match. It must have been interesting for the famous Polgar sisters having him at their summer home briefly. It's a shame Goerge H.W. Bush's "Executive Order" and our State Department made it more difficult for him to have a match with Judit. I recognized RZA from your article "Hip Hop Variation" (in the January issue of Chess Life) when I saw the 9 Queens & Wu Tang cameo in the Veoh dim mak reel. LOVE the photos from the chess video art that you're working with DimMak on. Rock on Jennifer! Chuck Jaeger ((((Dear Jennifer,))))
