It took people a while
to realize he was really gone.

1:04:19
He disappeared before--
1:04:21
once for 18 months
1:04:23
before the crushing defeat
of Petrosian in Belgrade.

1:04:30
But when he didn 't show up
in Manila in '75

1:04:33
to defend his title,
1:04:34
they took it away from him
1:04:36
and gave it back
to the Russians.

1:04:46
O.K., let's go.
1:04:47
I'm standing here
with Fred Waitzkin.

1:04:49
I hope I pronounced
that right.

1:04:51
Fred, what's it like
being a chess parent?

1:04:54
In my case,
the hardest part

1:04:56
is keeping track
of my son's toy cars,

1:04:59
making sure he eats something
other than French fries...

1:05:10
Hi.
1:05:13
Hi.
1:05:14
Your son's the odds-on favorite,
I understand.

1:05:17
He's rated number one
in his division, yes.

1:05:20
So every other parent
in this room hates you.

1:05:23
I'm just kidding, Fred.
1:05:29
Thank you, sir.
He can go to his table now.

1:05:32
Next, please.
