Bobby Fischer in Pawn Sacrifice

In Pawn Sacrifice, it is shown that in a match, Bobby Fischer arrives a little late, then adjust all his pieces and gives his move at the 59th second...he would have lost in case he would have failed to give a move before the 1 minute mark.

I have read quite a bit about Bobby Fischer but I had never heard of this. So is it a true fact or has it been shown to enthrall the people watching the movie?

In case this is a true fact, any citations would be of much help to me.

Thanks.

I haven't seen the movie yet but it is dramatic effect. FIDE has tried implementing draconian rules more recently where being late to the game would incur a forfeit. I believe they have become a little more reasonable and as far as I know, nothing like that was in effect at the time.

 edit: I meant the one minute thing. I believe if a player was an hour late they would forfeit the game. So, if that was what was being shown, then something similar may have happened ... he did show up late to games and I believe his first game of the championship he almost did lose by forfeit. 

I heard this was true, it off course helps greatly psychological but losing time on purpose normally isn't done lol.

There was a previous thread about this but I can't find it now.  If I recall correctly, Fisher did once (or more) show up late for a match and then dither a bit before moving, but it wasn't the same match (or even the same tournament?) as shown in the film.

There is some similarity with the movie incident, but some details are different. If I remember correctly, the movie purported to be depicting the first Fischer game of the 1966 Piatigorsky tournament.

I finally saw the movie last month. It was a waste of time. As a chess player, it had so many inaccuracies it was painful to watch, and as a fan of movies, it had no compelling characters or tension. This wasn't all-time bad, just forgettably bad. 

I gave the movie 2-stars. 

Regarding arriving late: at the time, if you showed up an hour late, you forfeit. That rule has since been changed, and players are now expected to arrive on time. 

Fischer routinely arrived late, sometimes very late. I don't know that he ever arrived 59 minutes late though.

i read in some book by Irving Chernev that, supposedly:

David Bronstein once sat down to play a very serious tournament or match game, 2 1/2 hours each , etc. standard time control. and that he spent

1 hour 50 min on move 6

then went on to dash his opponent to bits the rest of the game :

having seen so much, so deepy, he sat there using his opponents' time against him  .....

;-)

LET THIS BE KNOWN AS FACT NOT MY OPINION THE MOVIE PAWN SACRIFICE IS VERY VERY BIAS PERIOD AGAINST BOBBY FISCHER WHY? THE I'LL REVEAL TO EVERY CHESSPLAYER ON CHESS.COM THE WAS JEWISH AND HIS PERSONAL VIEW ABOUT FISCHER WAS VERY EVIL HE NEVER HESITATED AT ALL TO PUBLICLY CALL BOBBY FISCHER AN ASS*&$# A JERK INCORRECT INFORMATION IN BETWEEN SOME FACTS VERY DECIETFULL VIEWS TO MANIPULATE THE VIEWERS TO BE NEGATIVE AGAINST WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING THETRUTH

THE DIRECTOR OF PAWN SACRIFICE WAS A FISCHER HATING JEW IN NO WAY COULD THIS MAN MAKE FISCHER LOOK GOOD HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS FISCHER WAS HATRED AND ANTAGONIST TOWARDS FISCHER

lol.

He starts off with all caps. Then goes to almost normal typing, but the first letter of each word is capitalized. Then he goes back to all caps. lol
