That's not
what Casablanca did.

1:26:03
See?
You want to be patient.

1:26:05
Fools rush in.
1:26:06
You want to go
to the 7th rank--

1:26:09
Hi, Morgan.
1:26:10
Josh, where you been?
1:26:13
Fishing.
1:26:14
Whoa. Look at this.
1:26:18
No chess boards,
no chess books.

1:26:21
I wasn't allowed to talk about chess
for two whole weeks.

1:26:25
Just fish.
1:26:26
Whoa.
1:26:27
It was my dad's idea.
1:26:30
Hey, Kalev.
1:26:31
How's it going?
1:26:34
Fishing?
1:26:35
Sure.
1:26:42
The 200 young players
finding their seats behind me

1:26:45
represent some
of the strongest chess minds

1:26:48
of any age in the country.
1:26:50
Traveling from as far away
as Alaska and Hawaii,

1:26:54
they've come here to compete
against each other

1:26:56
over the course of the next two long,
grueling days.

1:26:59
To become champion,
1:27:00
one must win
all seven games.

1:27:02
That's right.
1:27:04
This is Donovan Clennan,
1:27:05
Director of the National
Scholastic Championship.

1:27:08
Tell me,
1:27:09
is the next Bobby Fischer
somewhere in this room?

1:27:12
Hi, Mom.
1:27:29
This girl you're playing
is ranked 82nd.

1:27:32
All right.
Get through it quick,

1:27:34
and you can rest
before the next round, O.K.?

1:27:37
O.K.
1:27:38
I'll see you
in a little while.

1:27:41
Bye.
1:27:42
Bye.
1:27:44
Josh...
1:27:47
good luck.
1:27:53
Some of you may be unfamiliar
with sudden death rules.
