Directed by Steve Zailian, (Though he's probably more known for his screenplays; Schindler's List, Gangs of New York) it's a story about a young chess player who is drawing comparisons (well, by park drug addicts) to Bobby Fischer.
Anyone else a fan of this movie?

The real Bruce Pandolfini, Josh's chess teacher, is the guy in the park who refers to him as "young fischer."
Good flick.

I was reading up on some things in this movie, and the (villain) kid in the movie was based on a real character who actually didn't attend school just to play chess...
Is that not fuckin ridiculous?

According to imdb, this kid did a movie called "fluke".
He was pretty damn good in Searching For Bobby Fischer, he should have stuck with acting.

I haven't seen this movie, so someone please explain the Evidence/Eminem reference. Why the fuck is the diss track called that?
