Thanks for the comments David. Concerning Bobby Fischer, it seems he was a bit mentally sick, so it wouldn't be fair to judge him i think. He was a genius at chess and this no one can deny.

Concerning Fidel CASTRO's pics and videos, it took me hours, days and weeks of deep searching in the internet, all this to be able to share these infos with the members of chess.com.

Enjoy
