I read an article saying that Bobby Fischer was an "idiot chess savant". From what I understand, it means that Chess Grandmasters excel in other fields other than chess ,whereas Bobby Fischer, because of his mediocre education, excelled in nothing else but chess and outside of chess did not really contribute much to any other field. Your thoughts and comments would be very interesting.
No, they do not.
