Truce- Searching for Bobby Fischer

[HarrietTumban]

Damn. That kid's a fucking gangster

[SharerVideo]

0:43 continuity mistake, his finger is down..

[shoeless001]

I saw wthis in the theatre. just could not happen now. when's the last time they showed a character driven movie at a multi-plex

[vintagegeisha]

BS, total BS. This scene is supposed to be about Josh's world junior championship with Jeff Sawer, and it is because of Jeff's choice in openings that the game resulted in a draw.

[Aleksei5055]

@vintagegeisha wait so he never even won?

[MiloDC]

Father of porn star @ 00:13.

[silverberetta17]

@MiloDC CSI reference! NOOB!

[antzikal]

position at 1:26 is actually a draw...

recapturing the Knight is a mistake.

[SharerVideo]

@antzikal Very good point!

[mattbastardsen]

That's Hollywood for you, but at least they had the board set up right and they made it interesting/dramatic. As the real Josh Waitzkin knows, however, the proper way to offer a draw is to first make your move, offer the dtaw and then hit the clock. Only then does your opponent consider the offer. You're not allowed to sit there and badger him verbally, even if you have benevolent motives. Kids (and adults) do this from time to time, of course, but it's wrong.

[harkovadm]

The real Jeff Sarwer was a really nice kid and actually 2 years younger than Waitzkin. In the book and movie he is portrayed as evil.

[shoeless001]

@harkovadm I kind of thought the movie portrayed Jeff as more of a victim of unrealistic expecations of his coach/parents.

[themango55]

Kid made the right decision. Only pussies take the draw, at least he knew he was beat instead of having to live with wondering whether he could have won it.

Fischer was a douche for even offering.

[Zed2410]

@themango55 This guy's not fisher fischer was waaayyyy more but throat as described in the wikipedia article

[Takrezz]

those kids know how to play...checkers

[JoeBird76]

@Takrezz Crazy eh? lol

[homokidaccount1]

If Josh's queen didn't have the check, the game is still a draw...so i don't know why jonathan said "look at the board," as if he had the advantage.

[sebastianquilt]

People think that a chess prodigy should be able to see that queen trap, but Jonathan (the kid in the white shirt) was too confident. His arrogance as a player interfered with his confidence, making his mistake an example for oft-repeated chess phrase 'Confidence Kills'.

[olemew]

@sebastianquilt NO. I think people are considering the 1:46 smile. WTF, is obvious. But that's fine so everybody could understand the end.

[buzzbox2nd]

just like you aye rich0319726, word has it that you would beat anand or kasparov , your so good .

[kelloggcerealxoxo]

I can beat both of them .... in boxing

[utubesucks2003]

Saw this movie like twenty times as a kid, they don't make simple heartfelt films like this anymore.

[jackatack1107]

the first time i watched this movie i was young and i was with my parents. after the scene ended, i shook my head and said "he should have taken the draw"...my parents thought it was funny

[cfgero]

Disculpenme yo so de argentina y quiciera decir que el video es espectacular pero quiero pedir un favor no conocen en argentina un lugar en el que pueda conceguirce raitin de ajedrez por favor espero su respuesta

[khingratsaphone]

should've taken that draw!

[buzzbox2nd]

@idraw3g , were you born stupid, or is it something you have worked on ?

[TomValedro]

wow that other kid was supposed to be good and he couldnt even read that

[TimKraemer]

Good scene, but there's no realistic way that that kid wouldn't have seen his king in the middle of the queen's path until he heard "check." I'm a chess novice and I would have seen that instantly.

[mcatv]

@TimKraemer - It´s a good dramatic way to finish a supposed difficult game for entertainment of people who maybe dont know about chess, it´s rules or the way the board is designed. Many of the people here commenting who are into the "chess world" know that. This was an original way to finish the match for entertainment only.

[SGTItachi47]

I saw this movie before I even knew how to play chess (except at the most basic level). Never even saw that ending coming.

[rishiman25]

in reality this character is based on the chess prodigy jeff sarwer......josh made hell for jeff......in this real game josh drew against jeff...josh won the tournament and jeff had to leave chess due to negative media mess.....................JOSH WAITZKIN IS A LOSER............... see the website...... jeff has a completely different personality than what's shown here

[iDraw3G]

there's a reason why they changed the name: BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE JEFF SARWER!!

[drumass666]

@rishiman25

what website?

[midnightcaller200]

I heard he gave up on chess after this

[SCE2AUX]

@midnightcaller200 Not exactly, he still played/plays chess, but Josh grew up to have a wonderfully balanced life.

[lucirz]

nice scene

[groovesneak]

gives me chills..nigga got spanked././gotta love chess././

[Cheisu7]

A great scene from a great movie.

[beatz02]

the saddest part about it is, dude made all the moves he was predicted to make, and then had a smirk on his face when he got his queen back, as if it was game over..lol

[beatz02]

how could you turn down a shared championship??

[fastr1337]

pride comes before the fall.

[beatz02]

Actually...lol. Pride comes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Prov 16:18).. I always wondered why people omitted the rest of the passage..

[fastr1337]

mine sounds better lol.

[44eelz]

@beatz02 ... haughty is kind of the same as proud tho

[82TheGodOfWar]

Gave Him a Nice Taste of Humble Pie..lolololol

CHECK!!

[82TheGodOfWar]

This is like the Illest part of the Movie. I watched this scene over and over..lol this one and the one where he's playin his dad from the other room.

[sarafinacat]

This is an all around great family movie. My boys got so excited to learn chess after watching this movie and now they are both great chess players, one of my sons was even beating his teacher at school.

[jaypw26]

great under rated movie

[somethingblue22]

fantastic video

[mitchsn]

Greatest line ever:

You've lost. You just don't know it.

[82TheGodOfWar]

yeah really ..lol

[82TheGodOfWar]

TAKE THE DRAW....
