Bobby Fischer: Good Riddance
Link | by gendou on 2008-01-19 16:19:43
Bobby Fischer was one of the greatest chess players of all time.
For whatever reason, he grew into an anti-semitic america-hating old coot.

I, for one, will remember him as a warning of the potential dangers of brilliance.
What I mean is, smart doesn't save you from crazy.

How do you think he will be remembered?

I didn't know much about him until he died, but before then, I just saw him as a chess whiz. I didn't think anything of it because I can't play chess (people think I'll beat them or something).

Gendou, you're right; Smart won't save you from crazy.

i would understand why he become like that, after the incident in yugoslavia, he goes around the world because his home country refuse him, then he become depressed and mentally pressure, then goes snap

the last part conclude all i think ^^
