He was barking later on in his life but it seems to have been a product of his early life. I remember when I was super young watching him interviewed on a programme and the interviewer said he had heard that Fischer could remember every move from every game he played and proceeded to show him a number of positions from games throughout his carreer which we identified correctly. That was what got me into chess back in the day.

yeah, i watched it the other night (morning, it was on VERY late).

it's the same programme as the HBO production "Fischer Against the World".

I'm too young to remember, but it seems to depict him as more of a madman than genius... just my opinion
