Reading an interview in Chess Life of Sarwer is both fascinating and heartbreaking. Jan. 8 2010 issue.

Thanks for the video. I had no idea that they movie producers casted Sarwer so incorrectly. Shame that Bruce Pandolfini then, made a cameo and didn't do much to correct Swarwer's true image.

@quathlamba It's from a popular movie called Searching For Bobby Fischer
-
The position is a famous one, then? What is the first position resulting in the pawn race and win for black taken from? Is it from an historical chess game? Please tell...
-
Isnt it odd that in the movie the dad gets really offended at the comparison of cards to chess and yet apparently jeff sarwer went on to become a poker player................. I find that kind of hilarious

@yisacknayrabin OK, I realize what's going on now. I'll just leave this here: trollface.jpg

@yisacknayrabin Why would he be making Youtube videos if he is making millions of dollars playing poker?
-
@yisacknayrabin Er, no it's not. Sarwer is a poker player now.

@websnarf Really? Very cool! What scene...timewise roughly?

@ChessNetwork : During the scene when Jonathan Poe and the "evil" coach visit Ben Kinsley as Pandolfini at his club and request an application. I am the player in the horizontally striped shirt playing on one of the tables in the background.
It may interest you to know that while most of these extras were just faking it my "opponent" actually played reasonably well. So we were, I believe, the only extras to *actually* be playing chess in the playing hall/club scenes.

This is one side of opinion on the game. Read The Art of Learning as well.

One-side is implicit to an opinion. What "opinion" am I even having on the game?
