According to Polgar's site, Robson is very close to his 3rd norm.

He did it!

A draw in the penultimate round secured the tournament win and thus his 3rd norm.

I wouldn't compare Robson too closely to Fischer either. Bobby got his title by winning a place in the Candidates, i.e. competing among the best for a place to challenge the WC. Bobby had also won the US championship.

Robson is great, though. No fooling.

I hope he sticks with the game and wins at very high levels as Carlsen has.

I wanna see Robson v. Carlsen so bad...

 Why would you want to see Robson humiliated ?  He's no match for Carlsen ...... not even close.

Well, no, I take that back. I wanna see it, but in about 5 years. Ray's a few years behind, though I believe still at the same progressive rate.

Right now Carlsen has about 275 rating points on Robson.

A close match between them won't be soon.

I'd like to say sooner, but am reluctant because so far he doesn't have top-level match experience. Maybe 5 years would be realistic if things go well.

Ow. You hurt my feelings.

Poor ole goldendog...just wants to play and make friends...

so the America got 4 GMs this year. Hess, Leinderman,Finegold and Robson.

We love your shiny coat goldendog. As a token of our esteem, you get to eat people food tonight!

Woohoo! Meatballs!

It's news like this that just makes me want to give up :-D.
