If I could hug everyone in the chess.com forums, I would.

By 1975, Karpov was young and releatively inexperienced but had already developed into a legitimate threat to challenge Fischer's title, so Bobby kept pushing constant demands on the organizers to eventually frustrate them so that he could be seen in the history books as the "good guy" who wanted to play but mean nasty old FIDE stole his chance at defending his crown. And it's astounding how many people believe Fischer's side of the story unironically. The Soviets, understandably, were preparing like hell to dethrone the American champion, which they had every right to do especially considering how chess was a political propaganda tool in their minds. Unfortunately for chess fans, Fischer took the easy way out. (And he was offered plenty of help but didn't accept any because he thought that he was the best player ever).
Well put.

I have a solution for your dislike for "bad arguments"
Just give them hugs. It's legit trust me hunnie. Think about it. they went through all that trouble to take time out of their busy day to go into the chess.com forums to share their thoughts with you.
I don't know why you're interested in me.

I'm just being a jerk for fun. I don't actually think people are dumb. I also don't believe my arguments are perfect. I don't know much beyond what I can read on wiki, so someone who has actually read books on Fischer (there are a few people like that in the forums) could give better and more detailed commentary...
... but people who actually know things tend to stay away from topics like this, because these topics are filled with... unserious people. Such as people who post llama gifs 
First sentence. That’s why I don’t take much offense.
This also why llama is awesome. It’s the perfect quantity of being a smart *ss, having fun, and comedic relief
Meeeeee3eeeeeee3eep
I don’t want to be…THAT guy but…..I like trains…
And pugs and hugs
Also bundling up in blankets upon blankets upon blankets. And eating Cheetos with popcorn. A Caramel appple won’t hurt either, then I curl up into a ball and help myself to some sleep. Wake up, eat more food, and go on with the rest of my day or night.

I'm interested in many things.
Corona. Jack Daniels. Coffee. Root Beer. Ford Panther Platform. Cartoons. U.S., Japanese and Filipino coins. Especially the ones made before 1946. Chess. Shooting my 9, .45 and 16ga.
Oh and of course I do like chess puzzles and fooling around on the chess.com forum.
The American walking liberty half dollar is possibly the most beautiful coin ever. I hope you have one.

That's confidence 🤔
Yeah if you read Fischer's Brady biography, weird demands was just kind of his thing. Move the spectators to 9 feet away instead of 7, 75 watt bulbs not 100, do not use the letter "Q" in any of the contracts....
Well ok maybe the last one was understandable.
