:20:04
Bobby Fischer was 6
:20:07
when his mother
moved the family

:20:10
to a small apartment
near Ebbets Field.

:20:12
At night,
:20:13
when the traffic noise
died down,

:20:16
you could hear the roar of the crowd
from the stadium.

:20:21
His sister brought home
games to amuse him

:20:24
while their mother
was at work.

:20:28
Monopoly...
:20:29
Parcheesi...
:20:32
chess.
:20:34
Even though
she was five years older,

:20:37
she was soon
no match for him.

:20:40
It became more interesting
:20:42
for him to play
against himself.

:20:44
He'd play both sides
of the board equally hard,

:20:49
careful to be fair...
:20:51
and he always won.
:20:56
And up...
:20:57
3...
:20:58
4.
:21:00
Now over.
:21:01
Arms long, girls,
:21:03
and down.
:21:04
Let's go
to the other side.

:21:08
Long neck.
:21:12
And pliƩ.
:21:13
And down.
:21:20
3...
:21:21
4. Very nice.
:21:23
j'adoube.
:21:25
What are you doing?
:21:26
j'adoube.
:21:27
j'adoube?
You moved the piece.

:21:29
No, I adjusted
the piece.

:21:31
j'adoube.
:21:32
No, you moved it,
then took it back.

:21:34
No, I adjusted...
:21:35
Who are you with again?
:21:37
No, you picked up
the piece...

:21:39
The Hadassah chapter
on Staten Island.

:21:41
I'll take it back.
:21:42
What did you have in mind?
:21:45
Lecture? Exhibition?
:21:47
I'm looking for
Bruce Pandolfini.

:21:50
What are you prepared
to pay?

:21:53
$30.
:21:55
Do you know how much I'm accustomed
to getting for a lecture?
