You lost me when you called this place "the com".

Properly thanking to trysts for the squirrel suggestion, we could name him Zig-Zag (product placement is key to big budgets) and he's the alter-ego to Bobby the Nut (for the Planter's endorsement).
The first movie would cover the years from when Nut was a little acorn growing to the mighty oak (ends at 1971). Zig-Zag Sparks a Life (subtitle: an oak is just a nut that got away) would have (partial cast, open to suggestions): PeeWee Herman as young Bobby, Stephen Wright as young Zig-Zag, Fran Drescher as young Regina, Madonna as young Joan, Gilbert Godfrey as young Paul Nemenyi, Don Rickles as young Jack Collins, and Cara Wakelin as Barbra Streisand. What do you think? All we need are a couple of scenes and we have the first movie.
Dashkee94, I'm adding your submission to my thread "Chess.com exclusive chess movie parodies"

Be my guest, Dr.
btw, I rediscovered Renaissance lately. :)
Annie is the best! I've seen her three times--I even made it on the DVD (the live DVD they made at the Keswick Theatre--my brother and I are in several crowd shots). They're going on tour, soon.
Bobby Fischer! The movie!
The tale of a man whose combination of eccentricity and genius befuddled the world - a man who rose to the heights of chess glory and sunk to the depths of living from a garbage can. Loved, reviled and in his final years chased by the American government, he inspired a whole generation of 1970's young Americans to learn chess and dream of greatness.
starring: John Turturro as Bobby Fischer, Aleksei Alekseyevich Veselkin as Boris Spassky and a cameo cast of real chess stars, you do not want to miss
Bobby Fischer, the movie.
