truly hes is the best player, kasparov even at the height of his career cannot equalize bobby's popularity...why? he was not even got a contract to play with a $5 Million, bobby even do many years not played a single tournament yet he was offered such amount just to see him play once again!!!

Thats still true Artemi he was ans always will be the King of chess

The greatest chessplayer ever! Considering the odds he has to face to become World Champion this guy is really legendary. As a person he is brutally honest and he is not a sell out. He did not allow himself to be used by anyone. My interest in chess came back when I heard of his death. I started playing chess in 1972 at the age of 12 during the height of chess fever initiated by Bobby. May you rest in peace!

I agree 100% he was a chess master and nothing will ever take that away from him ever.

he was able to handle the pressure of the game of chess but politics was a game he could not master so what.

why would anyone think bobby was anything but a chess player is beyond me.

He was the greatest ever and no one can change that. He voiced his opinion

on some matters and people and politics took it out of context. The man only wanted to play the game that he loved and everyone had to make more of it

than they should had

I know him along with so many others sparked the fascination for chess

 

I saw him when he came to the Philippines. He sparked the Filipinos' love for chess.

 

Bobby we hardly knew ye!

Thats is so true he is the king of 64 squares

he is the king of 64 squares and died at 64.... RIP GM Fischer

i've never heard of him but i saw the news and am starting to learn of him

It truly is we did lose a legend yesterday

It is a heart breaking news indeed.

There are no pictures as of yet or as far as i know but i will continue to look and see if there are any.

...a mysterious dead to me for a great chess legend..am not manage to see his coffin..any pictures to share?

Even i can't believe it either that Bobby Fishcher Died ... That also so early at the age of 64!!..He was a great man of chess...

True i do agree but he chess skills are second to none

He was a great chessplayer but left a lot to be desired as a human being...
