yeah it is actually. it's how i was taught the first time i heard of it, but lotsa guys at school started to be more passive with Qf3 because Qh5 was putting your most versatile piece straight into enemy lines. as soon as the scholar's mate was deflected, it was instinct to aggro push the queen.

Used to love chess. Got seriously bored playing a game of "memorise the opening". It was like playing a video game only from reading the walkthrough step by step.

For all he was a despicable human being, Bobby Fischer was right. Fischer random is so much more fun.

I can imagine! But they need to sell it to everyone, sometimes you need a bit of artistic licence:)

true, but it was pretty odd how evil they portrayed Boris Spassky (Fischer's opponent for that cold war chess championship thing), even though irl they were actually pretty good friends. just can't stop yourself from creating a main villain can you hollywood?

Yeah, well him and Fischer had a lot more in common than just chess...

I will definitely give it a watch sometime!
