It is my contention that Fischer's 1st so-called "mentors" did him a great deal of harm and are deserving of the blame for the tragedy that befell Bobby. They were only interested in riding Fischer's chess skills to their own fame and glory.
Any true mentor would taken him out of the public's eye until he learned to adjust to society. In this case would have meant years. Would have been a nearly impossible project in Fischer case, but it was the only hope.
That was the explanation. Look it up :-)

Nows it your turn.
I don't have a father, I don't have a sister and I don't have anyone that deserves any respect. Anything else?
Nobody gives a s**t, some things you don't have to promise. You just do, or you don't, you don't, and nobody asked you to, and it won't happen never ever again, and that's a promise, and unfortunately I do keep my promises, especially if I'm not hurting anyone along the way, except perhaps some proud Mary, but it's not my ego anyway.
Nkt, this isn't a confession booth.
Maybe it's his substitute confession booth. 
There seriously needs to be a moderator to remove these irrelevant comments.
Again, who are you comparing Fischer with? It's not my problem obviously, never was and never will.
BIG. I travel in 747.
But sometimes they put me in a military jetsky.
they should put you in a straitjacket
and I don't have anything in common with jfk, it's like they have a job or something, and not smoking crack either,and never did
I did a j*int however, once in the army, once or twice, top, as a student, and once after, be it twice, but that's it, shared is the word, so you see, it's not that I have anything to do with it.
I wish they had kept the prostitute thing out of the movie, personally. I understand they had the problem of making a chess movie interesting, and I think they were trying to sex it up.
The book Bobby Fischer Goes to War also referenced an interview he did, I think in Playboy, but all he said was that he liked curvy girls -- not exactly a earth shaking revelation and he might have been hamming it up for the magazine's "readers."

Don't worry. You'll reach your goals. Don't take me personally. I don't mean it the wrong way. I just have this self-defense up so I push people away. I've been hurt before and I just have a shield up. So if you see me go nuts you know why.
Walking about with a built in excuse. How convenient. See me go nuts ? No worries mate. The excuse is taped to my forehead .

some are interested in his personal life, because we saw in the end that his mental and emotional state of being hurt him from continuing his career.
oh... he continued alright on his own terms. Just not as a professional. Being a WC always scared him, too many expectations thay were not Bobby. It was only about the vinyl. He continued to play as much as ever, just not in the public eye. You need to understand a fixated personality. As said previously, he had no interest in money, politics or girls. Only the vinyl. His paranoia was not political. Just so happened the Russians were contesting him over the board. He would have ranted about anyone. He was actually a scared boy, very typical of young savants who never receive the benifits of guidance. Very unfortunate. The sky was the limit.
