The Famous American Chess Grand Master Bobby Fischer is dead. A small eulogy:
"Chess," Bobby Fischer once said, "is life." It was the chess master's tragedy that the messy, tawdry details of his life often overshadowed the sublime genius of his game. Fischer, who has died at the age of 64, was a child prodigy, a teenage grandmaster and — before age 30 — a world champion who triumphed in a Cold War showdown with Soviet champion Boris Spassky.[more]
On his death, I would like to present some of Bobby Fischer Quotes. Some of the quotes are by Bobby Fischer and some quotes are about bobby Fischer.
