Typically when you think grandmaster chess player you don’t also think film actor. French Grandmaster Fabien Libiszewski has won some of the biggest chess tournaments in the world and has a chess ranking among the best in the world, but he has also dipped his toe into the acting world in The Tournament (2015). Fabien fit well in a movie about a young, brilliant chess player in a huge tournament. If he chooses an acting career from here out remains to be seen, but regardless of what he chooses he will likely continue to be one of the best chess players in the world. In The Tournament Fabien plays a fictionalized version of himself, but there is nothing fake about the skin Fabien shows when his character joins many of the others at an indoor pool for a little fun in the water. He pulls off his shirt, showing off his upper body as he and the other guys jump in the pool and blow off some steam.
