Bruce Pandolfini

Bruce Pandolfini

Bruce Pandolfini is a chess author, teacher and coach. He was famously portrayed by Ben Kingsley in the 1993 film "Searching for Bobby Fischer", based on the book of the same name by Fred Waitzkin. Pandolfini lives in New York and has coached many talented chess players, the most famous being Fabiano Caruana, the youngest Grandmaster in American history, and Josh Waitzkin, subject of the book and movie mentioned above. Pandolfini is popular with his students due to his easygoing attitude — a sharp contrast to the stern character Kingsley portrayed in the film.

Pandolfini has written over a dozen books on chess and a few others on chess-related topics. He also writes a monthly column for the magazine Chess Life entitled "Solitaire Chess."

He's also on the box of Mattel's "Computer Chess".
