Im lepiej Bobby radził sobie na szachownicy, tym bardziej zaniedbywał szkołę. Uważał się za mądrzejszego i inteligentniejszego od nauczycieli, dlatego że lepiej od nich grał w szachy. Tymczasem Regina widziała, że jego inteligencja i wiedza ogólna były na poziomie dziesięciolatka.

Parę godzin później powiedział Tremblayowi, że obywatele i rząd Islandii poczują się obrażeni, jeśli pan Fischer nie przyjedzie na mecz.
