A very bizarre documentary of one of the chess legends. The weird editing, prolonged shots, time at the top of the screen, different languages, and Gary's general demeanour all combine together into a haze of random scenes and interviews from simul to beach workouts. The scene with the art lady describes the film as a whole - unsettling. I was caught off-guard by the ending and the whole previous hour felt like a dream. That's my 2 cents at least. I don't usually comment but the video was so unique that I couldn't help myself.

A corrupt chessfederation which probably made Kasparov leave them and found PCA. It could also mean that Short was a junior worldchampion once. It probably can be investigated.

Excellent description. The isolation endured by many top achievers and intelligent people compounds the problem. But I've also thought for some time that the inclination to strategic thinking, of viewing everything in terms of tactics, can leave a great chess player mentally unbalanced. Anyone who spends 18 hours a day focused on just one thing like chess is already pushing themselves to the limit. But if they begin to view everyday life as a chess problem to be solved, this is very damaging. People like Fischer seemed to have Aspergers, and was already probably predisposed to schizophrenia. Give him super intellectual abilities and world fame and...well, we know what happens then.
