 The entire chess world has suffered a great loss with the death of Bobby Fischer, he was the greatest player to ever live and we will never see anyone like him again. May he rest in peace

Since now on the greatest chess genius Bobby Fischer is out of criticism and suspicions. May his game with God end in draw in all other ways too.

As one who was braught into the chess world by his famous matches leading up to and during the World Championship that he won I can remember all of the excitement that he brought to the "stogy old game" of chess. At the time I was living in Honolulu and in Waikiki they had a pavillion on the beach where all of us chess players met on a daily basis. I can remember running off to get the local paper to find that daays moves, weather head or over the board. There was a big debate going over the fact that it was being reported in the sports pages of weather chess was a sport or not. But that was all to the good as it woke people up to the game and his impact was HUGE. The number of people he brought to the game here in America alone was mind boggling. A true genius has died and his shoes will take a long time filling.

The man was an absolute psycho. For all of you who are truly upset than u must have no idea what kind of man he was. Besides being a genius he was also an anti semitic American who hated his country as much as his people ( He was a jew ). I say the world is better off without him!

A moment of silence for him. RIP Bobby.

The problem being that, no matter if you don't like it, even "an absolute psicho...antisemitic americam who hated his country"  can be a genius, and a artist, as indeed he was.
