Do you have the same hatred for the people who flew those airplanes into the WTC and the Pentagon (and who hijacked the plane that crashed in Penn.?)
No. I have infinitly worse hatred for the people who flew those plane into the wtc and killed thousands of innocent people.
Why do you ask?
Just checking. Not uncommon is the thought that we should try to understand them. Just wanted to see if you were in that camp

You don't kill people to prove a point, we civilised humans prefer reasoning.
Totally agree. But you'd be surprised how many people don't share that view
I know this is very off-topic ( not that it is a great topic) but is there anybody out there? None of my opponents have moved in more than a day and I just want to check if the zombie apocalypse is finally happening. Please respond if you are still alive.
Would be illogical to bash Fischer for his comments about 9/11 but have a less critical point of view toward the people responsible for it. But those people exist
Should add that it takes two sides to reason. Sometimes killing people is unavoidable. Doesn't mean it's not regrettable, especially if they're civilians, but it's not always avoidable
( A one hit wonder ?) Maybe...but that's a great at bat !
Genghiskhant, face it or ignore it FIDE just put the two losers to Nigel Short for a rather silly FIDE World Championship! *rofl*
I don't regard this as a true Chess World Championship! Many people see this the same way.

But how does not playing make him stingy and selfish? That's all I was objecting to - the reckless and unwarranted use of disparaging adjectives just because people are so blinded by their hatred for Fischer that they'll accuse him of anything

'Stingy' is probably the wrong word to use. 'Childish' fits though. He didn't get his own way so he took his ball home so nobody else could play with it.
no its not childish, you know always try to reason, try to be so educated and then you make such shallow thoughtless statement. You are a nobody you dont understand, Fischer was the greatest chessplayer ever, admired by millions, why should he bow to nobodies?? why?? why????

that shocked me Ghenkis, it hurts so much, how can i live on after a total strangers that trolls the internets called me an idiot.
Why is anyone who disagrees with you about Fischer a troll? You spout your fanboy nonsense, usually without actually knowing what you're talking about, then call others trolls for having a different pint of view.
Why aren't you the troll for spamming every thread with your Fischer adoration?
There are about 100 threads on here with you saying,'Fischer is the greatest' regardless of the topic. Doesn't that make you a troll?
No Ghenkis not everyone who disagree with me is a troll, but you are obviously one. But ofc a very good one that i must admit.

You don't think jumping into every thread, calling people trolls and then shouting something about wanting to have Fischer's baby is trolling?

Seriously now, don't you think those Fischer fanboys are all the same. They don't like thinking and stuff but they have learned to repeat "troll, troll, troll". So funny
At least you got a response to your comment. I asked whether Tal was a "one-hit wonder" because he held the WCC for less time than Fischer and all I got was the sound of crickets:)
The English media have a way of overdoing it as soon as sportsman shows a slight bit of promise. Every 17 year old who scores a goal is the next 'Worlds Greatest Striker'.
What people should remember though, is that it is not the player's fault. If anything, the media put huge amounts of pressure on them from a young age. When they don't live up to the hype, the media turns on them.
Hey, I don't feel sorry for them, not in the least. They choose a career where they are going to be scrutinised at every turn, and they get paid extremely well to do it. It's just worth pointing out that it's usually not the player himself, nor the general public. It's the media.
The average English football fan knows that they are not the best in the world, and knows that they don't live up to the hype. They accept that and just root for their team as anyone else does.
The media are the ones who bring up 1966 every time a tournament comes around. (They even said,'It's 1966 all over again', when England won the rugby world cup lol. It's a different sport ffs)
(reminds me of the Fischer fanboys :P)
To say they are all mediocre and boring is not true though. England have produced some really top athletes over the years. A couple of world class golfers, formula 1 drivers, rugby players and it can't be denied the likes of Rooney and Ashley Cole are world class footballers (even Alan Shearer or Gary Linekar, going back a few years)
It is near impossible to live up to the hype of the British media. This makes them seem worse than they actually are.
He didn't take his ball home and people continued to play chess - just without him as a participant. It's not like the game suddenly stopped. I wish he had played Karpov but I wish Alekhine had granted a rematch to Capablanca too
