Hi.
:19:16
Your move, Josh!
:19:18
Did you move that pawn?
:19:20
I moved a pawn, yeah.
:19:22
Yeah, that one.
:19:24
Move my horse
in front of my king.

:19:26
You mean your knight.
:19:28
Yeah.
:19:35
O.K.
:19:38
He's going to lose
his queen.

:19:40
Oh, really?
:19:42
Did you do it?
:19:44
Yeah.
:19:45
Can we go out now?
:19:47
Well, the game's
not over yet, Josh.

:19:51
Yes, it is.
: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.
