A fine, yet troubled mind. His death marks the passing of one of the greatest chess minds since Morphy.

Checkmate

Helluva spiral downward from being the top mind in chess to spiteful paranoid anti-semite. Damn shame.

He made a lot of sense in his political statements.

He was nothing but a pawn since 9/11.

A true individual. True individualism will not be tolerated. Free thought and that lack of desire to play politics is the mark of an anti-person and those anti-persons must be silenced. You can't just have people running around saying what they think is right.

Goodnight funnyman

He was an old queen...

When the Russians couldn't beat him legitimately they denied him access to their best players between tournaments. His game suffered.

Ordinary people must obey a set of rules. Governments and the superrich make their own rules. Some paranoia isn't paranoia at all.

Who gives a shit.

Can't we just remember him for the good he brought to the USA and to the world. Why do we have to jump on the smear campaign?


I wonder if TMZ is covering this...


Bwa ha ha ha ha!

I start every chess game with a Fischer opening, the Poisoned Pawn.

While a bartender in college I used it on my boss after hours one morning.

Mate in 5 moves.

Got fired on my next shift.

Sore loser, kinda like Bobby Fischer suppose.

Another competitor who cut corners by using steroids pays the ultimate price.

Wasn't Bobby Fischer a Jew himself?

From Wikipedia:

Robert James Fischer was born at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. His mother, Regina Wender, was a naturalized American citizen of German Jewish descent, born in Switzerland but raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and later a teacher, a registered nurse and a physician.[11] Fischer's father was listed on the birth certificate as Wender's first husband, Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, a German biophysicist. The couple married in 1933 in Moscow, U.S.S.R., where Wender was studying medicine at the First Moscow Medical Institute. However, a 2002 article by Peter Nicholas and Clea Benson of The Philadelphia Inquirersuggests that Paul Nemenyi, a Jewish Hungarian physicist, may have been Fischer's biological father.

He looks like a stereotypical Jew.

Breathtaking

You mean when he hoped for the U.S.'s destruction after 9/11, or something else?

it is really awful he said those things. his legacy will be tarnished forever and his pathetic rants will always footnote his accomplishments.

People who are brilliant at one thing are often totally stupid about most everything else.

Can't we just remember him for the good he brought to the USA and to the world.

He renouced his citizenship and wished for 9/11, yea, he did alot of good for the homeland. Where else can you play a game, get rich and hardly work and then tell the country that made all that possible to kiss your ass? I think his ego was too big, thought he was worth more than he was, and he was totally irrelevent to the average american. To be honest, I think his death was like a bear shitting in the woods, who really should give a fuck?

A true Genius of Chess, playing Chess for 40 years because of Bobby Fischer. It is unfortunate that anyone who disagrees with America's policy on Israel is percieved as Anti-Semite. America's foriegn policy has been a diasaster for the past 50 years, anyone who has the nerve to say such thing is always presieved in This Country, as anti-American. Just aint so!!!!!!

Jews are allowed to criticize Jews, right?

Celisary, this goes for speaking your mind about a host of topics. If you are against the war, you love terrorists. If you don't like Obama, you're racist. The list goes on and on.
We're all so ready to play "gotcha," that we don't truly listen to each other's opinions.

i wish other moonbats would make good on their threats to leave this country...i do praise him for that.

other than that, i'm sure he was a miserable person. hope he finds his rest.

ESPN has been playing the interview that Dick Schaap's son had with this bag of shit when he arrived in Iceland a couple years back. In it he attacks his deceased father, and Jews in general...

After hearing that and his comments in the hours after 9/11, not only am I glad this "man" is dead, but I hope it was extremely painful too.

Kidney failure was too good for him.

Pretty sure he never came back because he would have been arrested for playing that rematch in Yugoslavia.

But yeah, it would be nice if the idiots who threaten to leave after elections or whatnot would be forced to live up to their "threats."

"ROB YOU A HOLE"...Any body, yes any body who cheers at the death of someone that they don't even know is really sick. That's the problem with hacks like yourself, you can't disagree without showing your hateful side, you sir have no shame...That is why you are today's...'FUCKING ASSHOLE"

I got a little bit of hope,
Like a soap on a rope,
Sweeter than sour
Getting thinner by the hour.
Fallin' fast,
And I'm runnin' out of gas,
Muggin' on your sister,
Smart as Bobby Fischer.

Still, I couldn't get arrested,
Though I've got more hooks than Madonna got looks,
Just like that AC/DC song.
"Come on, baby, shake me all night long."

All I wanna do
Is stay 'til early in the morning. (Oh, I love you, baby!)
And all I gotta say, yeah,
Is your love's extraordinary.
You're extraordinary, baby.

Better Than Ezra (Extraordinary 2001)

that was my point, rob...

Any body, yes any body who cheers at the death of someone that they don't even know is really sick

I didn't know hitler, but I would have laughed my ass off the day he died...

Fischer was a bag of shit... an antisemite... a fucking tool.

The world is better now that he is dead.

En passant.
