RIP - Bobby Fisher



Bobby Fisher was a boyhood hero of mine. As much for his anti-establishment attitude as for his genius over the chessboard. After college I became a tournament chess player (reaching a USCF ranking of A-player with a rating of 1865). I later moved from chess into Go - but always the first cause in my love of games and human challenge is the inspiration I Got from Bobby Fisher and his match agasint Boris Spassky in 1970.

RIP - Bobby Fisher.
