'Pawn Sacrifice' is a great biographical chess drama about the tragic life of grandmaster and world champion Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest chess players of all time. The central roles are played by Tobey Maguire, who delivers one of the best performances of his career, and Liev Schreiber, who does an impressive job by playing Boris Spassky, Fischer's main adversary. Although the film addresses many important aspects of the political context of the time and of Fischer's life and mental illness I feel there was still room to explore much more, especially about his psychological health. Even so I strongly recommend the movie to anyone interested in chess or Fischer's biography. Also, if you want to see Tobey doing something different from his famous role as 'Peter Parker' this will definitely be an interesting film to watch.
