Searching For Bobby Fischer Page #6

It says,

"This is to certify that Josh Waitzkin,|on this day,

has in the eyes|of his teacher...

attained the rank|of Grandmaster."

I have never been so proud|of anyone in my life.

I'm honored to call myself|your teacher.

I'm so scared.

I know.

Will you stay until|it's over?

Will I stay?

I wouldn't miss it|for the world.

[ Children Talking ]

It's unsettling, isn't it?

When you realize there are only|so many things

you can teach a child.

And finally...

they are who they are.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Start your clocks.

What's happening?

Why isn't he moving?

Letting his time run.

Trying to psych Josh out.

Don't do it, Josh.

Don't even think about it.

Bring her out.

Keep her back.

Bring her out, Josh.

Oh, Jesus!

What?

Is it over?

Over? He's setting him up.

Josh is setting him up now.

I taught him that.

Check.

There it is!

Trick or treat.

That was a mistake.

What was a mistake?

Who made a mistake?

Look deep, Josh. It's there.

It's 1 2 moves away,|but it's there.

You've got him.

Take his pawn|with your pawn.

G takes f6 forking|his bishop and rook.

Don't take back|with your bishop.

You'll need that|to guard e7.

He'll take back,

either with his bishop|or his knight.

When he does,|this is the hard part,

sacrifice your rook.

Capture him on f6|and get him to check.

King has to take|your rook.

He takes f6.

Give him the knight|to check e7,

forking his king|and his rook.

He'll move to safety.

King f5.

Take his rook|with your knight.

He'll take back|with his king,

and you've got him.

Don't move|until you see it.

I can't see it.

Don't move|until you see it.

I can't see it.

Don't move|until you see it.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Here, I'll make it|easier for you.

He's got it.

He's got it?

How do you know|he's got it?

He's got it.

What?

Come on, move.

What's that supposed|to mean?

What's that supposed|to mean?

He's offering him|a draw.

I'm offering you|a draw.

Draw? You've got|to be kidding.

You've lost.

You just|don't know it.

I've lost?

Look at the board.

I have.

Take the draw,|and we'll share the championship.

Take the draw.

Move.

Check.

Good game.

Yay!

Hey, you did good.

All right!

[ Applause ]

[ Vinnie ]|Yes!

Josh, my man.

All right! All right!

My man!

I'm so proud of you.|I knew you could do it.

I told you. I told you.

Bobby Fischer played|in Washington Square Park, too.

See this? Look. Josh Waitzkin.

Morgan, what--

Morgan...

will you come here?

I tried to give him|a way out.

I know you did.

Why did you bring|the queen out so early?

You know|what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying?

Do you understand|what I'm saying?

Are you listening to me?

What happened?

I lost.

That's all.

What did|your dad say?

"You should have|taken out your knight

instead of your queen.

You took out your queen|too early."

I do that, too.

That's all he said?

Pretty much.

Morgan...

you want to know|a secret?

I'm going to tell you|a secret.

You're a much stronger player|than I was at your age.

Thanks.
