Chess legend Fischer dies at 64

The US-born player was a fierce critic of his government
The controversial former world chess champion, Bobby Fischer, has died in Iceland at the age of 64.
The US-born player, who became famous for beating Cold War Soviet rival Boris Spassky in 1972, died of an unspecified illness, his spokesman said.

He was granted Icelandic citizenship in 2005 as a way to avoid being deported to the US.

Mr Fischer was wanted for breaking international sanctions by playing a match in the former Yugoslavia in 1992.

He also had alienated many in his homeland by broadcasting anti-Semitic diatribes and expressing support for the 11 September 2001 attacks in New York.

The reclusive player - who had renounced his US citizenship - had lived undetected in Japan for a number of years before moving to Iceland.

'Match of the century'

Mr Fischer died in Iceland on Thursday, his spokesman Gardar Sverrisson said.

The nature of the illness was unknown but Mr Fischer had been reportedly seriously ill for some time.

Mr Fischer had many supporters in Iceland, after playing a world championship match there in 1972, beating title-holder Spassky.


HAVE YOUR SAY He should be remembered for his wonderful 1972 victory over Spassky, rather than the sad and prolonged end-game of his personal life

Send us your commentsThe so-called chess "match of the century" came to be seen as a proxy for the Cold War, as the Soviets had held the world title since World War II.

Mr Fischer, the individual who had triumphed over the might of the Communist system, became an American hero.

The 1972 match made chess fashionable, even sexy, some experts say.

But after his victory, the eccentric genius simply disappeared, declining all lucrative sponsorship deals.

He resurfaced briefly in 1992, to play a re-match with Spassky in Yugoslavia in defiance of international sanctions.

Mr Fischer then vanished again, though it later became clear he had been living for a number of years in Japan before moving to Iceland.

Hey man RIP Bobby Fisher wad damn close to the guy in a Beautiful Mind. He was seriously disturbed but a damn genius. They forgot to mention he was the only grandmaster to beat all of the Big Blue's IBM would let him touch. :D

Of course I believe he had a thing for kiddy porn too if I recall correctly from his troubles in Japan.

Yeah, I heard some old reports from some of his colleagues that he was fine until he started tren, they say he became "addicted" to it running up to a gram of tren enanthate per week, they say he became a monster, an irrational force of nature. I heard he lost a recreational chess match in a coffee house in iceland and he rear-naked choked the guy till he died.
 
Another wacko genius. I watched a show about him on discovery channel and he was just too smart which made him an idiot.
 
his mind was so above everyone elses, that it never rested.. imagine that.. how many times does goes your mind think of nothing or just drift off.. His alwas alway on the next move... the next therory... I can't fathom the pain this main must have had to live with. Even though he woould have whopped my ass in 6 0r 7 moves.. I still would have cherrised that day

He was no idiot. Just misplaced. The kiddie porn shit was disgusting, but he was soooo paranoid that he lived in fear. I still think there was wayyyyy more to this than will ever be told. At one point the KGB and the CIA wanted him. There was definately something else up.
 
good riddance....he was fuckin anti American and an anti Semite....
