On a site where many strive to be the best at what they love I think it is only fitting to say goodbye to one of the best. Electronic gaming has washed over the world but Bobby Fisher played a game with only a board, 32 pieces, and his mind and he was one of the best. First US world Chess champion and one world class weird guy, bye bye Bobby. Mate.

He was definitely different. Didn't he get into trouble for going behind the iron curtain the play against the Soviet champion.

Plug in, turn up and spank the plank

Yeah He died in Iceland because if he came back here they would arrest him Politically it was Black and White for him. White always moves first.
