Shameful how you keep talking bad about the dead. Disrespectful.

We can criticize dead people. Once you die you don't just become immune to criticism.

Well, he did just like Kanye and then died so he must also have been a chess prodigy and had a really high IQ. ( /s for people who need it)

I wish I could have met Bobby Fisscher. He knew what was going on in the world 20 yeras before Kanye did. Takes a smart man to know that!

He is a great role model. I hope to be like him. I will do the same if I get famous.

Okay so we got conspiracy theorists saying a neo-nazi knows what's going on in the world. Yeah you should definitely be on the side of these people. /s on 2nd sentence

He was smart. Probably something above average in general intelligence. His teachers found him quite capable, as Frank Brady explained in his biographies. But they also found his single-minded devotion to chess made it difficult for him to develop his intellectual capabilities. 

He had a terrific memory. His chess calculation abilities were exceptional. His chess vision and creativity superb. His chess games are well-worth the time of any and every chess player who aims to improve their game.

Away from the chessboard, however, he had severe problems. Psychological. Mental. Organizational. He was conned by cult leaders, losing much of his income to their scam. He put property in he hands of those not competent to manage it. He was prone to conspiracies.

Fischer is a fascinating and tragic figure. But, claims that he had an IQ higher than any standard aptitude test can reliably measure is not something that you should believe. Seek credible evidence. 

Some of my books:

 

You posted that Bobby Fischer was an example of a successful low intelligence chess player.

Thank you for standing up for him. Time Magazine's Man of the Year! All lies what they said about them and everyone knows it. Meanwhile the Soviets killed 100 MILLION!

Okay this is just nazi apologia.

My last sentence: Fischer is a big tragic figure and not an example of intelligence in a great way but a lunatic person who decided at the end of his life that chess is not good anymore.

So he decided his whole life was a mistake.

Would it make sense to report maximum queens for racism bc they're literally just doing nazi apologia?

No. The term was “mentally disabled”.

Which mentally disabled strong chess player are you talking about?  Would like to look up this person.  Please provide the name.

And I wish the rhinos would die out… that wish is pointless and just blatantly wrong.

Mine as well of said “I wish the rhinos died out.”

Fischer was brilliant and his cognitive ability was tremendous. But that does not make up for his lack of empathy for the human race.

Straight from Time Magazine's website. Sadly, you can't delete history. It's a fact.

okay, so that's a metric buttload of conspiracy theories... let's see how quickly it gets to more explicit defenses of anti-semetic conspiracy theories.

Okay this is implicitly an endorsement of anti-semetic conspiracy theories, when will it get explicit?

The truth comes out. We know who you are now. You have revealed yourself! 

Shine a light in the darkness and the darkness shrinks away. All they can do is attack, while people spread the truth.

We know who…?
