Rare Bobby Fischer Photos Anyone?
Sort:
Looks like that trophy was full of booze.
Great photos Stuzz! Like the one of Bobby and his sis!
I swear I am over 5'8" My friend here is a giant! 
Man it's cold here in Chicago! 
These voices in my head tell me to beat the Russkies! 
Now that I am dressing better, I will pull the Englund Gambit on this patzer. Who IS this little keed Magnum anyway? Can anyone ID the man overlooking the game? 
Looks like Tal. Not sure about the other guy.
Right, Tal.
Wow
Fischer played chess for the love of the game, like Alekhine.

Frederick Olaffson's daughters
Before playing the match with Spassky in Reykjavik, in 1972, Fischer toured Iceland for a few days to get the feel of the land. One morning he telephoned his old friend Frederick Olaffson, Iceland's only grandmaster. Both Olaffson and his wife were out of the house, and a little girl answered the phone. Fischer said, "Mr. Olaffson, please." Olaffson's daughter explained, in her native Icelandic, that both her mother and father were out of the house and would return in the early evening for dinner. Fischer does not know a word of Icelandic and had to hang up with an apology. Later that day, talking to another Icelandic chessplayer (who did speak English), Fischer remarked that he had tried to reach Olaffson. "It sounded like a little girl on the phone," he said. He then repeated every Icelandic word he had heard over the telephone, imitating the sounds with perfect inflection, so well, as a matter of fact, that the Icelander translated the message word for word.
Nice story. Here, his resting place with purported daughter Jinky. 
They do seem to be too happy. Strange.
Oh, in #1, Fischer is with Susan and Judit Polgar; in #11 Fischer is playing Susan.
