The story
Seven-year-old Josh Waitzkin becomes fascinated with the chess players in New York City's Washington Square Park.
It emerges, however, that Josh deliberately lost to spare his father's feelings.
Bruce takes an immediate liking to Josh, but disapproves of many of Josh's maverick tactics, adopted from Vinnie's tutelage.
