他放弃了下棋，因为他成不了特级大师（grandmaster）。我觉得他和他父亲合写的那本原版书《Searching for Bobby Fischer》要好得多。跟电影不一样，电影大部分都是虚构的。
He gave up chess because he couldn't make grandmaster. The original book written with his father, "searching for Bobby Fischer" is much better I think. It's not the same as the movie, which is mostly imaginary.
《Searching for Bobby Fischer》的原型人物 Josh Waitzkin 后来写了一本书叫《Art of Learning》。他在书里描述了一种别人教他的、用来延长专注时间的方法——间歇训练（interval training）。他最初接触这种技巧……
Josh Waitzkin, the subject of "Searching for Bobby Fischer" wrote a book called "Art of Learning". In there, he describes one method he was taught to increase the amount of time he can sustain his focus -- interval training. He was first taught this technique…
强烈推荐《Art of Learning》。在《Learning about Learning》里有一篇对 Waitzkin（他的国际象棋天赋被记录在《Searching for Bobby Fischer》这本书和电影中）的采访 http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2009/01/21/learning-about-le...，能让你很好地领略到他进行“自我 debug”的能力：我之前写过博客……
Strongly recommend "Art of Learning" There is an interview with Waitkzkin (whose chess talents were chronicled in "Searching for Bobby Fischer" book and movie) in "Learning about Learning" http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2009/01/21/learning-about-le... that gives you a good perspective of his ability to engage in self-debugging: I blogged about…
……语句。而且那种情况下我通常会在本地调试器（debugger）里打开同一份代码。差距犹如天壤之别。也许这就像国际象棋大师完全不需要棋盘一样。对于《Searching for Bobby Fischer》里的那个小孩来说，棋盘可能真会让人分心。但我注意到特级大师在严肃比赛中还是会用棋盘的。作为一个程序员，我可不是什么特级大师，眼前摆着棋盘我才能把这盘怪异的游戏玩得更好……
…statements. And usually in that case I have the same code open locally in a debugger. The difference is night versus day. Maybe it's like a chess master who really doesn't need the board. For the kid in Searching for Bobby Fischer, it may really be a distraction. But I notice that grandmasters use a chess board in serious competition. And as a programmer I'm no grandmaster, and I play this weird game better with the board in front…
