Robbie: It is a matter of fact that people were concerned about Fischer's mental health early on.
Feel free to disagree with their concern, but the fact is they were concerned.
Who was Bobby Fischer?
Sort:
Wow. You completely changed your post while I was writing mine.

Yes I understand that, but please attempt to answer the question.

Yes its a habbit i have, i like to edit things and I apologise for it.
I've just stated reading 'Endgame', Frank Brady's biography of BF. Clearly a handful as a child.
Robbie: To be blunt, I consider you a crank.
I feel no obligation to answer your questions. What I said was clear enough and obvious enough. I've been on the internet long enough to know that there is no end to a crank's questions he feels must be answered.
The trick is for you to make your questions interesting enough that I want to answer them and for others want to read the answers.
interesting information about bobby fisher and I wonder how hard he studied ..
He studied obsessivly - he neglected all else. This concerned his mother greatly because he didn't do well at school and couldn't mulyiply in his head, Alhough he liked and did well at softball and swimming.

We do agree that Paul Nemenyi was Fischer's biological father. His photo on wiki sealed the deal for me:
Hans Gerhardt Fischer, Robert James Fischer, Paul Nemenyi

Darth_Algar: How so? I take that as an insult, frankly. Tell me about how open-minded you are.
The people I've known closest to Fischer's level of strange -- my mother, cousin and a few people I've counseled on a suicide hotline -- were clearly crazy. My mother and cousin were in and out of hospitals.
Still, I'm disinclined to call Fischer crazy. He functioned well enough to stay loose and free aside from political imprisonment. I would be willing to dismiss him as a crank if his ranting about the Jews didn't become so personal and paranoid.
How so? Your implications that Regina must have been ether a Soviet spy or collected some other "favors" to complete her education in East Germany and your refusal to hear any argument to the contrary.
BTW: Bobby and Regina never "broke up" as you say, they always remained close even if they went years without seeing each other in person.

For instance, the training and privileges which the USSR showered upon its best chess talent wasn't out of high-minded regard for "people who want to better themselves." No, their chess programs and athletic programs were funded as part of their propaganda campaign against the West.
What in the sacrificial ---- are you talking about?
I think you are a very confused individual.
You're claiming that an education system should give grants to people who want to study a board game?
-------, the amount of deranged individuals on these boards is reaching boiling point. The idea that chess has some educational merit is one thing, trying to put it against a medical degree... really... wow.
Also who told you it was "part of their propaganda campaign against the West"? Where did you hear it from? Does the West never sponsor or award grants or scholarships to their own sporting teams? You just heard it somewhere that "oh that was just the Soviet propaganda", clearly not like the west at all.

This discussion is not about you nor me, its about Robert James Fisher and who he was. No one has stated that you are under obligation to answer anything. What were you thinking, that you would be strapped to a chair, a bright light shone in your face and someone in an SS uniform would click his heals and splutter out, 've haz ze vays of making you talk'? wow? Your opinions of me constitute another irrelevancy and are meaningless to anyone but you. Why you think i should give them any credence i cannot say, and to be honest i simply dismissed then as the words of someone that has failed to detach their egocentricities from an argument so as to remain objective. Oh well!

Fischer's mental problems were sufficiently obvious when he was barely a teenager that GMs Robert Byrne and Pal Benko told Fischer he should consider seeing a psychiatrist.
