Bobby Fischer dies at age 64

Here is one story, here are others.  My favorite Fischer game is #3 against Spassky in Iceland, and that he had the nerve to play Nh5 as Black when down 2-0 in the match.  Here are Bobby’s top achievements.  Of course we have had other memories of Fischer in the meantime.

A sad day. Nh5 was impressive, although even for that time perhaps not an entirely new idea. My favourite game of THE MATCH was the tenth. My favourite fischer game was his win against Stein (Sousse 1967). The next video gave me the chills http://www.chessvibes.com/personal/bobby-fischer-passed-away/langswitch_lang/en/

64 would seem to be a fitting number for a guy who spent a lot of his life contemplating that many squares
