21 years ago today, on September 1, 1972 Bobby Fischer became the world chess champion after defeating Boris Spassky in their chess match.  Since then, nobody has been able to defeat Fischer in a chess match.

Way to go, Bobby!

He'd be pretty close if he were thinking of the 1992 rematch.

P.S. Maybe today is "Divide Everything by 2" Day.
