I guess if the title was “Radjabov knocks off Wang”. I would make headlines and alert John Wayne Bobbit to be on gaurd.
LMAO
Remember when Rajabov was the next Kasparov? Like Carlsen another flash in the pot. It will be years before we see Bobby Fischer again.
Bobby is reborn and his name is Magnus
Fischer had to wait until he was 27 before he was a great player. He was then a great player for two years and then he disapeared.
So I really don’t see what is so great about Fischer. Is it that he quit so soon? Or is that he was so eccentric?
When looking at the chess achivements he certanly wasn’t so great that he would deserve to be a model which all should be compared to.
Fischer had the most irresistable “Crazy Hobo” look. He turned on most of the women in the Phillipines with that look.
well just watch fischer games !!!
And what exactly should one see in his games that he can’t see in games from other great players?
