I see I'm not the only one to mix up Blueemu with Ilama47.

 

They could be brothers.  They post alike.

Bobby Fischer was a retarded troll who was seeking attention.

I was using the app and had to go to the website to edit.

Wasn't he the opposite?

He was a self made world champion who became a recluse... didn't want attention from anyone.

In another spot I mixed you two up.

I think that other poster did too.

Oh.

I didn't realize people confused us.

I'll take that as a compliment, I like emu.

If I read the forums fast it is easy to mix you two up.

#246, during cold war era there was a battle between US and Soviet Union on every aspect including chess. US spent too much for chess players in that period to break russians. They did it finally by bobby Fischer, and after that they didn’t need him. But he was used to be in center of attentions and since they didn’t care about him he went crazy. Imagine going to Yugoslavia and taking side of a dictator just to show how you hate US.

So you like saying things that are the opposite of true, that's fine, I guess that's how some people troll.

I don't have many good things to say about Fischer besides his chess, but I would not accuse him of being a publicity hound...I think for decades hardly anyone even knew what continent he was living on.

If he wanted publicity after 1972 he sure went about it in a sub optimal way.
Contenchess

I don't think the USA spent one dollar on chess back then but I have been wrong before 🤔

Contenchess

If anything...the USSR spent too much money...

DefenderPug2

What as an abused thing to spend on that America has done so. I want a nice laugh

DefenderPug2

Absurd*

Yeah I can agree with contenchess here. In Soviet Union times it was basically a paid profession for them.

If you watch"Queens Gambit" you will get a little more accurate picture of how much US chessplayers we're making back then, like the Benny character's apartment with the shower in the living room.....
DefenderPug2

I should watch that. But I’ve never gotten to that yet.

Contenchess

Ubik42 agreed with me? I'm dead! I died? Why? What did I do?
