Imagine Tootie saying "those are the facts of life" in an episode of the Facts of Life. That is what post #128 is like. Belated 1200, thank you.

*** the words in italics are said with Peter Griffin's voice sarcastically like in that episode of Family Guy when he says in a higher-pitched voice "...and you're over there"; I can't remember which episode it is, might be the one when he fights the voltron-esque robot of paraplegics composed of Joe's many paraplegic friends, when Peter didn't want them patronizing his restaurant, but I am not sure, can't find it on youtube.
No, but if you could ressurect Bobby he would probably insist that they did!
Well, the KGB or the Jews. Or Americans. Or maybe Larry Evans or Karpov.
so in the end, i win. ___________ is the best form of flattery. but you're not a jedi yet.

Barack Obama is about to give his state of the union address...he's got lots of friends, shaking all those peoples hands...definitely doesn't play chess.
I've heard that President Obama does play chess, better than bowling, not as good as basketball.
Now I feel embarrassed i responded to this post, it was a setup! lolo I also want to appologized to ilikeflags for my comment. I like flags also, there are many meaning that go into flags of named countries. But do you notice that all the colors of your countries flag are also in ours! We are two of a kind and thats the way it will always be! You had the beatles, and we had Elvis, you have a King, we have a Clown ( mission accomplished)! lolo Oh hell I stepped into it again

I dont know whats up about these books, but I thought someone else published them not fischer?
Bobby Fischer's 'hatred for the jews' was the same as Rush Limbaugh's hatred of
liberals or a politicians hatred of an able-bodied SSI recipient.

60 memorable games is his... I believe any others were written for him and just used his name.
ahh thanks waffles
I think of Fisher as a quasi- idiot savant. He had a prodigious intelligence of a special type, a "skill" that was "very deep, but exceedingly narrow". But socially a misfit. He must have been a very sad person but it is no excuse for his hate. In chess though there were few equals. What surprises me is there are not more savants with chess skills that are notable as there are savants with musical abilities or memories with dates and numbers,something comparable to computer chess abilites (number crunching). To use a poor example the character Dustin Hoffman played in the movie Rain Man

Well, there weren't that many Fischer books. Fischer would never put his name on a book written by someone else---why--Because it would be inferior to anything Fischer would write.
Vanity---thy name is Fischer! CASE CLOSED
That's what they said about Picasso.
Get in on flags on the ground floor while you can, I say.
