The impregnable instantial outer force of the superiority will now close and diminish the previous fulcrums of universal and interdimensional domination and reset the goals of the greatest galaxia to locating the nearest ice cream store.
You said it man.
Bobby McGillicudy, the Kansas State champion of badminton, I believe. Yeah, he was pretty good.
One of the greatest for sure. Keep in mind that chess was much different back then. There were no computers, and there were certainly less resources to learn. The Ruskis also dominated the game back then. I'm sure that a lot of super GM's today would beat him, though.
i like eating ice cream
but i don't like it when my hands get sticky
North Americans? Central Americans? Or South Americans?
And do you mean Bobby Orr the hockey great?
They could mean Bobby Orr, because he changed the defensive profile of hockey...but I think they mean Bobby Hull, and BOTH were born in North America.
It's cute when people try to get pedantically clever. If the thread starter had meant Central or South Americans he would have said "Central Americans" or "South Americans". With no additional qualifiers "America" = "the United States of America". It's been this way for centuries. And being a chess site it's pretty obvious who the Bobby in question is.
did Bobby's kids call him Bobby or Dad?
DERRRRP
Nothing, he didn't have any.
yes he did (?) Thought that was related to why they exhumed his body.
In answer to the troll thread:
Its kinda an objective thing, that Fischer is one of the greatest there ever was.
'The best' is arguable.
Nothing, he didn't have any.

There was a Filipino woman who claimed that Bobby was the father of her daughter. The posthumous DNA test proved otherwise. So yeah, Bobby had no children.
jon lennon and yoko ono?
It's been this way for centuries.
The U.S. has barely been a country long enough for this to be true, which it is not.
I only see 3 people as true grandmasters:
Philodor, Bobby Fischer, Alekhine
The reason is their contributions to the chess world. Philidor taught pawn structure and splitting opponent's pieces. Alekhine made vast contributions to the opening theory. Fischer taught the endgame. I read a book the other day titled "Bobby Fischer teaches chess." It was some 50 pages book, all aimed at endgame tactics. The section about breaching the castle and delivering checkmate was simply amazing.
Those fascinated by the peripheral elements of the Fischer mystique, may find something of interest in my just published article on serendipity, Fischer, Mendis and more.
Batgirl, I thought you threatened to quit writing articles...glad to see you didn't go through with it.
Leave it to a mediocre player to decide who's a "true" grandmaster.
All this is speculation.We can never know who's better than who. Pick your favorite player and learn from them that's all.
