i think he might have made a fine modern painter....maybe oscilating between far out abstract paintings or maybe picasso-like type art like what he painted late in life(checkout picasso late 60s early 70s)so u see what i mean. maybe a painter like paul gauguin.

better yet, i think he would be the love child of paul gauguin and vincent van gogh. and they did live together for sometime until vincent decided to cut off his ear and give it to paul.

Vincent was jealous of the Tahitian ladies?

He would have become the top rap artist of his time, changing the genre forever!

That or become the same exact person, just without the chess spicing up his life.

You can't behave the way Fischer did and expect to retain gainful employment. I second societal leach.

I think he's 14.  He doesn't have his chronological historical events in order.

Without chess Bobby Fischer would not have been Bobby Fisher. He would be a totally different person with the same name.

He would have been homeless and spiraled into a severe psychosis.  Probably would have wound up in a mental institution or dead on the street.
