From the Times: Bobby Fischer, Chess Master, Dies at 64.On the first blog, I wrote about Fischer (twice). Basically, after seeing the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer" I wanted to learn more about the wistful chess genius... and discovered that he was a disturbing figure not worthy of veneration. So he plays a game well? So does Barry Bonds. Whoop-de-doo. Just because the game is cerebral doesn't make it better. Fischer proves you can be 'smart' and be odious.
Pic is from here, of a rook, see definition 2. Backpost finished 4/8/08, 12:41 pm, I had just the title and the link.
