theres this guy really similar to bobby fischer in the olmypics
Sort:
so his name is bobby moch and if you look him up on google images he looks very similar to bobby fischer and he won 1936 us gold medal in rowing and like bobby fischer he was jewish and his real name is robert just like fischer
Wait, so two people (who look absolutely nothing alike BTW) who both went by the name Bobby were both actually called Robert? No way!?!
go away chessoath stop stalking me
I don't think they look alike. But people have different perceptions.
Also bobby is a common nickname given to people called robert. Just like Jim and James, Dick and Richard ect

Why do people whose name is Richard are called Dick? I know it is true but that doesn't make any sense imo. Can someone explain?

Well, for the same reason as Jim and Bob. It is just shortened an easy to say. I guess in this case Richard was broken down to Rich or Rick, then to Dick.
It is important to know that Dick became slang for a penis a long time after the name lol.
