'Bobby Fischer Against the World' is Too Much Against Having a Point

“Good at chess, bad at life”

I used to think that quote, which is attributed by some to Woody Allen, mostly stemmed from the infamy of Bobby Fischer , the eccentric and reclusive chess champion who forfeited his title after some disagreements with the World Chess Federation rules and ultimately became a criminal ex-pat and spouter of controversial anti-American and anti-Semitic statements around the world. But I learned from the new documentary “Bobby Fischer Against the World” that he was merely the latest and most known in a long history of chess grandmasters who were mentally and socially troubled and quite “bad at life,” at least in terms of popular and normal considerations. Logically, a game that has you always thinking steps ahead and seeing a bigger picture than most people, both spatially and temporally, may lead to issues with paranoia and depression. What a fascinating concept to mull over in a documentary.

The film, directed by Oscar nominee Liz Garbus (“The Farm: Angola, USA”), makes me feel okay about being bad at the game, or at least not interested enough to get good at it (newer board games, such as “Monopoly” and “Life” upset my psyche enough). It’s also an interesting doc to watch after either (or both) “The Tree of Life,” with its simplistic dealings with Heideggerian ideas (which someone like Fischer must have shared, even if he didn’t read the philosopher, and I’m not just referring to their mutual Antisemitism), and “X-Men First Class,” which relates to Fischer’s 1972 World Championship win against Boris Spassky in that they both involve exploitation of the Cold War for popular entertainment (in the X-Men universe, were there also evil mutants at play in Reykjavik that summer?). More than a decade before “Rocky IV” and years prior to the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the U.S. and USSR (depicted in “Miracle” ), the East vs. West tension played out over a chess board.
