Interesting. I didn't know the idea of a candidates tournament was around this early as an idea liked by some of the best players in the world.

I'd never heard anything before about Fischer singing!

I did, in one of Kasparov's books I think, but if I remember well Petrosian said he was overrating himself by far as a singer.

Maybe Vasily just didn't like R&R?

I'm surprised that Fischer spent only five hours a day studying chess. I always imagined him as being so consumed by the game that he spent practically every waking moment on it.

On his return from incarceration in Japan R.J. Fischer was singing some old numbers in the back of his friends vehicle.  Would like to have heard him sing Bohemian rhapsody.  The Russkies make it very difficult to challenge the world champ.
