RIP Bobby Fischer (b. 1943 - d. 2008)

Post by bubba »

Robert "Bobby" Fischer died yesterday at the age of 64 from kidney failure.

May he be remembered for his chess playing and not the self hating anti American person he turned into after his leaving competitive chess.

:( That is too bad, I've always enjoyed chess (doesn't mean I'm any good) and learned a good deal of strategy from studying some of his games. I'm certain he will always be remembered for his contributions to chess.
