Bobby Fischer. In 1958, the youngest grandmaster ever, in 1972 the first and only American (US) world champion after defeating Boris Spassky, today, in Reykjavik, at the age of 64, deceased. Most important USian chess player since Paul Morphy.
I’m watching One Good Move to see if Norm has any comments on Fischer’s passage.

“Bobby Fischer attended Erasmus Hall High School together with Barbra Streisand, because of whom he dropped out in 1959 when he turned 16. Many teachers remembered him as difficult.” Some have difficulty remembering. All could not play chess for shit. Rest in Peace self-hating Jew. Prawn to King David you big lug.
