I don't think Fischer is the best among them all.

This topic's been done to death, almost every time by someone looking to start a flame war a you clearly are.

actually i dislike people who always will say fischer is the best player ever , and this is the first time i have ever found some prove about him been just a nut.

The two are not mutually exclusive, he was a nut and one of the best chess players to have ever walked the planet. This is also not some well kept secret that you just unraveled, it's a well know fact and nobody will deny it.

he was not the best player in the world he was just a GM on drugs that make him focus better , in our time he would never had been allowed to play a single fide game.

The line the OP waited in to get his avatar:

"on drug" ?oh get off the grass will ya.

Bronsteinitz :

Fischer has done and said strange things. But in this video he makes sense and is not abusive. He talks about too much memorization and too little creativity. He says it can be dangerous being an american. He says the US government is not backing down in their pursuit... I can understand all that.

he also says that he is in danger from many assasins that will finally find a way to get him , he was nutz

They'd better hurry.

Stupid and ignorant comments.. Read this :

Bobby Fischer is the greatest Chess genius of all time!  -  Alexander Kotov

 

I believe that Fischer surpassed all the former and currently living grandmasters in the ability to produce and process chess ideas.  - Anatoly Karpov

 

It is even more absurd to compare Fischer's chess strength with that of Kasparov, in whatever way, than it is to compare Fischer and me.  -  Anatoly Karpov

 

When you play Bobby, it is not a question if you win or lose. It is a question if you survive.  -  Boris Spassky

Fischer plays like a machine, and in fact he is essentially a machine. But I am a man! A computer has never yet won against a grandmaster. Therefore I am confident of success.  -  (before losing his Candidates' match 6-0)  -  Mark Taimanov

Not only will I predict his triumph over Botvinnik, but I'll go further and say that he'll probably be the greatest chess player that ever lived.  -  John Collins

FISCHER WAS JUSt ILL !!! THAT'S ALL..

Damn! (Driver's License Guy isn't Driver's License Guy anymore).
