Now, has anyone got any evidence of his alleged anti-semitism? Because I was of the impression that he's anti-Zionism and anti-Isreal. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Clearly some sort of genius though, whatever the weather.

Well done proving me wrong people. Good work.

I didn't know Bobby Fisher did anything else but play chess. I guess I never felt the need to look into him any further.

The way the world viewed the Fischer match in '72 against the Russians as good against evil, imagine if it had been Kasparov as Fischers opponent instead, in light of their repective contributions after chess. Deep Blue had more humanity than Fischer.
