replies: text: I don't know, but I do know I played in a USCF-rated tournament (Susquehanna Valley Open) that the teenage Vincent Livermore won circa 1969. So I will correct the "never had a rating."  He should be on the 1969 or 1970 USCF Annual Rating List. Billbrock 20:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article seems to say that the game shown ended in a draw, but the notation seems to say black won. Which is it?

replies: text: The text does need to be more clear.  What it means to say is that the "real-life" showdown between Waitzkin and Sarwer ended in a draw.  The movie version has Josh winning with a fancy combination. SubSeven 23:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did black win or was it a tie? 

message: At the 5th move instead of Kxf6 which allows 5...Nd7+ with the white rook capture, White plays 5.Re2+ and after 5...Kd3 is 6.Kxf6. Now even with the lost of the white rook, after few more moves White wins:
1...gxf6 2.Bxf6 Rc6+ 3.Kf5 Rxf6+ 4.Nxf6 Bxf6 5.Re2+ Kd3 6.Kxf6 Kxe2 7.h5 Nd7+ 8.Ke7 Ne5 9.h6 Ng6+ 10.Kf7 Ne5+ 11.Kg7 a5 12.h7 1-0
:Rybka 2.3.2 agrees, there are also 6 piece endgame tablebases out there, perhaps someone with access to one can check it irrefutably.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.216.152 (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The article says "Josh played Sarwer to a draw ..., and he kept the championship, as he was top seed. "  I've never heard of a tie in chess going to the top seed.  What about tie breakers?  Bubba73 (talk), 07:08, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states that Anjelina Belakovskaia was featured in the film as a chessplayer. I do not recall her nor is she listed in the credits of the IMDB. Can someone find out more about this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8104:730:D510:14D9:1931:B10 (talk) 08:57, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
