Brilliant player, bad moves
Recounting Bobby Fischer’s tragic path from prodigy to pariah
By Matthew Price

Chess is not the likeliest path to worldwide celebrity, but Bobby Fischer was no ordinary player. The freakishly talented, freakishly flawed Fischer, who defeated the Soviet Union’s Boris Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship, one of the great spectacles of the Cold War, played the game as if it was a blood sport. Dick Cavett once asked him in a TV interview “where is the greatest pleasure” in a match, and Fischer responded, with glee, “When you break his ego — this is where it’s at.”
Spassky said of him that “[i]t’s not if you win or lose against Bobby Fischer; it’s if you survive.” Combative and charming by turns, Fischer, for a time, put the cloistered, cerebral world of chess in the spotlight — he even made the cover of Sports Illustrated. But Fischer’s fame curdled into infamy, and in his last years — he died at 64 in 2008 — he was known more for his anti-Semitic ravings and battles with the US government than for his moves on the chessboard.

“battles with the US government”
This is key as we all know of the Semites who are in power are not elected officials who did in fact make government policy for the U.S.
Bobby knew who was behind 9-11. Most people worth more than 100 million also know about 9-11. It was and is a sick conspiracy where the ultra wealthy stole the life saving of the common citizen. The elite controlled press denies this story, but you must know of a man Bobby knew of… a special Semite.
He was a Semite by the name of Larry Silverstein who benefited the most from 9-11. He had help.
Bobby was one of the smartest people on the planet of his time. He discovered who was ruling the world. He was murdered by the Mossad to keep quiet. Bobby was poisoned causing his kidneys to fail.

This article’s writer, Matthew Price, definitely can write. But sadly he is off-tangent and does not know what he is writing about.
Quoting wikipedia’s pariah definition: “An outcast (also known as an unpopular person, a reject, or a social reject), is a person who is rejected, and sometimes isolated, by society in general.”
Fischer’s circumstance is different. He isolated himself from the world, not the other way around.
Too many people and countries liked and loved Fischer. If he is an outcast he should have been rejected to live in Iceland.
It’s just too bad he went against the US government. And learned people knows what a mighty government can do to a hapless individuals like Fischer, who only happened to be a great world chess champion.
Mr. Price, you cannot further put a dead man down. Learned people understands where he should be placed. He is, contrary to your article, until today being idolized by many.
You cannot be an outcast and idolized at the same time. That’s logic 101.
He is gone. Why are you still negatively campaigning through malicious articles against him?
What’s your purpose? How much are you getting?
Well, in Sept, 1957, Fischer was 14 years old… (not 12);
I liked and still like Bobby.
