Bobby Fischer is dead :(

[Misty]

Considered one of the (if not the) greatest chess players of all time, Bobby Fischer died today. It's too bad he ended up going nutty, though I guess it produced some hilarity...

"The Jew-controlled United States is evil. They talk about the axis of evil. What about the allies of evil? What about the US, England, Japan, Australia and so on? These are the evil doers," said Fischer.

Sounds like he belongs in a cave in Pakistan tbqh.

I heard about this on Digg; rest in peace, Bobby.

 

[Zenigame]

Wasn't he banned from playing chess in the US?

 

[Misty]

More like, if had set foot in the US, he would have been arrested and jailed for breaking sanctions.

Who is Josh Waitzkin supposed to search for now?

Renowned figures from my favorite activities keep passing. First Chip Reese, now Bobby Fischer. R.I.P. Bobby.

Oh this is very sad news. I always liked the man, since I read a book on how to play like him back when I was ten. I was so into chess I named my dog after him. Shame he had to go out he way he did.

 

[Age of Kings]

*sigh* Bobby inspired me to play chess in fifth grade. I've enjoyed it ever since, such a shame. R.I.P Mr. Fischer.

There was a house keeper at the nursing home I work at by the same name.. except this guy was an ex-pimp in his late 60s, and all he talked about was sex and perversion. I miss that dude.

Really, if I was in Bobby Fischer's position, I'd be pretty pissed at the states, too. He did a lot for America, and they treated him as a traitor.

RIP

 

[Shinryu]

Definately seemed a bit eccentric in the end, but he was definately one of the greatest chess players.

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

Bobby certainly will be missed.

...

Wait, Chip Reese passed away? *searches* *drops on floor* Holy crap. How did I not hear about that?

 

[Venom]

Don't know who this man is. But R.I.P i guess

 

[Wishy]

Who exactly? He sounds kinda crazy.

Godspeed. :\

 

[Aeroblacktyl]

I always wanted to play against him, becuase in this one episode of Smart Guy, the idiot outsmarted the super computer cause the idiot kept making random moves. That was my ambitious goal.

That's funny because that's the first thing that went through my mind when I read this topic. :(

RIP, I guess. I know he was a great chess champion, but after seeing his comments after 911 and the anti-semitism it is very difficult for me to think of him in high regard.

[Darkflagrance]

How many other American chess players hads as great a reputation as Fischer? Need more like him, eccentricity and all. Give some life to the game.

 

[Music Junky GS]

I learned about him like 3yrs ago, rip.

Big lol here. Well, people die sooner or later, lets remember him as a the master he was.

 

[Deco]

Yeah, I heard all about it... too bad, he owned. Well, he was quite... nuts, but he was a great chess player.

 

[Taylor]

R.I.P

I am going to search more on this guy, never payed too much attention to Chess. Although, lately I'm trying to get more into the game, playing online and losing most of the time.

So, how many times did he lose? after becomming a pro, of course.

 

[Vineon]

he claimed to be world champion until his death because he never lost a title match
