Many don't know this but Fischer has/had the patent on the clock that adds an increment for each move. We all use this time control. He could've been great at anything he chose but he chose chess. Thank you Bobby Fischer.
Fischer had no gamesmanship
Sort:
Magnus was 15 when he first qualified for the Candidates. Fischer was actually 14 when he did.

I found something shocking that happened during the event. Fischer forfeited game 2, giving Spassky a 2-0 edge. After forfeiting, Fischer turned the match around and ended up winning. Fischer used unethical manipulation to beat Spassky. He broke him down psychologically. Fischer wasn't a more skilled chess player, but a more skilled manipulator. His forfeit in the second game affected Spassky's game, who was used to playing with gentlemen, not cowards who rely on psychological warfare to win. If psychology wasn't a factor in the match, Spassky would have wiped the floor clean with him. Fischer's legacy is one of psychological manipulation, not of chess brilliancy.
I also believe fischer did cheat the playing in the first match and last match's doesn't fit his playing
I agree to this post I also believe he did use cheating method as his blunder and poor game doesn't match the games after cameras are off and after game 2 I do believe Fischer did cheat not only manipulate
Fischer was associated with CIA Operation Stargate -- a fraudulent propaganda program claiming the abilities of 'remote viewing', simply a cover up for government surveillance.
Check out his relationship with Russell Targ.
Right-wing racist propagandists involved in that program aimed to undermine the entire country of Russia with a 'wunderkind'; it was a time when the US military was under the thumb of weapons manufacturers and they were itching to start a war with Russia
Fast forward to 2025, idiots like Hillary Clinton, George Bush, and Donald Trump still hold this stone age viewpoint
Nevermind if psychic abilities are real, I don't contest this as I have met some Russians demonstrating abilities I cannot explain which I do file as 'psychic ability'; I have no other explanation.
I use the term 'hyper-conscious' which may or may not be related to alien technology and the quantum field
Government fraud is rife in 'Murika and his profile fits the model of American racist propaganda

I agree he was obviously using stockfish
Show me another 15 year old kid who has played in the Candidates Tournament. If the elo rating system had been in place in the early fifties Fischer would have been a grandmaster long before he was 14. He took on the Soviets alone and defeated them alone. He declared he would no longer play in the interzonal after all the cheating in 1962 and and it is only because Pal Benko gave Fischer his spot in the 1971 interzonal that Fischer challenged the Soviets for the title. His 20 game winning streak with no draws against world class competition showed how determined he was in dismantling the cheating Soviet chess machine to go on and claim the title.
No non-Soviet player had been World chess champion since 1949 until 1972 and no non-Soviet player would ever win the FIDE World Title again until 35 years later in 2007. Anyone who thinks Fischer is overrated is a fool.
