We’re turning a chess player’s story into a series that tells the story of chess. Traditionally it cost $200,000,000 to create a video series like this. Now, it only takes one team with a vision & the right tools. Episode 1 is coming shortly…

In the darkest moments of my journey over the past few years, I began to wonder how I could possibly overcome being blacklisted and defamed by nearly every international media outlet. With no sponsors or support, I was left with just one friend. My greatest inspiration became Bobby Fischer. If he could defeat the entire Soviet machine on the chessboard without any help, then my own problems seemed smaller by comparison. I immersed myself in his life: reading everything I could, meeting his former friends and bodyguards. Eventually, I got to the core of what made his character so special. At that point, I understood what it takes to become a world champion. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I’m certain it will happen one day. I’ve overcome too much to stop now. Let this be a reminder to everyone, that no matter what you are dealing with, faith, perseverance, and rising above your detractors is the only solution.
