What do you guys think about the Bobby Fischer situation?

Whos' Bobby Fischer and what happened?

THE CHEESE CHAMPION YOU FREIKIN IDIOT! It makes sense though (mumbles somthing about Final Fantasy and Being gay, and the Gaystation that is gay and the GAYSTATION 2 that is twices as gay as the first gaystaion.....) Its ok though. Bobby Fischer is the Chess champion who beat the Russian Chess champion to take the world title. Somthing an american had never done before. And he was just a kid. The Russians thought we were using Brain Radiation on the russian guy and thats why he lost. He had been reclusive for most of his life... Back a while ago he played a computer named Big Blue.... The UlTIMATE CHESS COMPUTER. Capable of looking like 50 moves into the future or somthing. AND THAT IS ALOT. For the first 15 moves of chess there is somthing like 99 million different possibilities. (I kinda just made that up) SO you get the picture. I think the computer may have beat him two out of three, but am shaky on the details. One point that people bring up is that Big Blue was able to look at all the Chess Matches that Bobby Fisher had ever played and Bobby was able to look at none of the computers. But anyway, mabey vash should tell us more about the current situation.

I guess he got in trouble 15 years ago for playing a match in russia for millions of dollars when America had a trade embargo or somthing on russia. Thats all I know though. Or should I say the USSR

lmfao.... is this serriously important?

Heck yes it is!!! The Chess CHAMPION the Michael Jordon of CHESS. The TIger woods of CHEss? THe Zylo of the VIZZED Board? We are talking the best of the best. AND GUESS WHAT? THERE IS NO LUCK IN CHESS all skill (USUALLY)

Wow that is the reasone he is in trouble except it was 13 years ago in 1992.

As far as I understand his passport expired and he was detained in Japan for like 8 months. Iceland (where he beat the Russian champ the first time, 1982) granted him citizenship.

Also he is very controversial, he is one of the people that doesn't believe the Holocaust ever happened. He is very anti-sematic (against Jews). And he said America got what it deserved after 9/11.

Well that just ruins his "Role Model image" in my eyes. Thats too bad.

Yeah the guy sounded like a jerk during the interview that I he had in Iceland. Also he was a Jew so that Anti-Semitism thing is strange.
