the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer isn't really about him, its about Josh Waitzkin

He liked to play chess. A lot.

He died at the age of 64. This is coincidental because, as you all should know, the chess board has 64 spaces.
According to me and my neighbor, he also owned an empty lot down the street from us, where he lived in a giant discarded construction vehicle tire. By the way, Add is my neighbor in question. Haha.
Also, his biggest rival was Russian Gary Kasparov.

Bob, as I liked to call him, enjoyed wearing suits until he decided to enjoy not shaving and hating Jews. My my. Personally, I like Jews. They're fine by me.

Sadly, he didn't like Jewish people. And his mom was Jewish.

He was a carbon-based life form. At least, that is the word on the street.

Was he really a carbon-based lifeform? Wikipedia said that was a rumor.

Robert "Bobby" James Fischer, born in Chicago on Tuesday, March 9, 1943 (it was raining that day), learned the game of chess (he had already mastered Chutes and Ladders and tic tac toe) from his smart sister, Joan.  He was 6 years old and she was 11 years old.  Joan won the first game.  Bobby got mad and kicked the pieces all over the room and called her horrible names.  That was the last time they played chess together.  Bobby learned Russian (with Efim Geller's help).  Joan went on to marry the very smart and psychic Dr. Russell Targ who developed lasers to fry chess pieces and bend spoons (with Uri Geller's help).  Bobby married (having failed to woo Barbara,who changed her first name to Barbra to hide her identity, Steisand with his big comic book collection and Nazi paraphanalia) a small Japanese lady who did not understand English very well, but inherited millions.  Now who's the smart one?  Fidel Castro's hero was Bobby Fischer (and Stalin).  With Fischer dead, Fidel no longer has any interest in being dictator of Cuba.

Billwall, that was inspiring. You should write the Ernesto Boungcloud biography.
