– A solid, tense biopic elevated by Maguire and Schreiber, though not as deep as Searching for Bobby Fischer . Worth watching if you like character-driven dramas or chess history.

Pawn Sacrifice , directed by Edward Zwick and starring Tobey Maguire, dramatizes the life of American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer leading up to the 1972 World Chess Championship against Soviet grandmaster Boris Spassky.
