Anyone old enough to remember...


Was the whole country glued to their tvs over chess? Chess aired in bars? Did this really happen or was it highly exaggerated for the movie?

The media in the ´70 havn´t the current developement, but... yes I remember this match like a global show.

Also, this was the begining of an incredible chess fever for everybody (including me) ...!!
