One of the world's greatest chess geniuses, Bobby Fischer, has died at the age of 64. A spokesman for Fischer said the former world chess champion passed away in a Reykjavik hospital yesterday. The US-born former world chess champion, who became famous around the world for beating the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky in 1972, had been seriously ill for some time. Rest in Peace, Bobby

Chess is one thing I never wanted to be get at doing. Too many great chess players go insane.

Worshippers of Herbert Armstrong are saying to themselves that Bobby would still be alive had he remained in their cult.

He hated everyone. The main reason he hated the US was the tax laws.

As soon as I heard the announcement I thought, Wow! 64! ... he reached the last square on the board.

Sounds like you’re lazy...cut and paste can do it easy. So, I guess you’re arguing for multiple posts of the same story. OK...we know where you stand.

Too late. I’m renouncing my citizenship and moving to Iceland.

The poor guy was a borderline schizophrenic. It sank its claws into him not long after his great moment.

Pitiful that he dragged himself to the scene of his greatest triumph in ‘72 before cashing in.

Regards Bobby, thanks for being a foot soldier for America to help bring down the ‘Evil Empire’.

Dang. I was kind of hoping that they’d make a movie out of this thread starring Ben Kingsley.
