Nobody picked Fischer on their list.
So, with the final checkmate, Bobby, R.I.P.
I'm sorry for his death, but ONLY for the sake of his chess. He turned in some phenomenal performances in his time. Kasparov once said that Fischer was further ahead of the other players of his generation than anyone else ever! wow.
But of the Fischer who used his fame as a platform for anti-Semitic rants and who called the attacks on September 11, 2001 "wonderful news," I say good riddance.
(As per wikipedia, Fischer died at age 64, which is coincidentally the number of squares on a chessboard)
