Sometime ago I seen a movie called "Searching for Bobby Fisher" and while it was on TV it had trivia popping up and it said that Joshua Waitzkin which the movie is based on his life as a boy chess prodigy that latter on he became ( if you went to the link Kevin posted) a four time push-hands champion in China/Taiwan, beating the Chinese. I can't help to think that the way Joshua thinks and trained in chess had something to do with his Tai Chi push hands prowness. I wonder what he would be like as an Aikidoka?
