Obituaries.



Chess great Bobby Fischer, who later degenerated into exhibiting some bizarre behavior and suffered from mental problems, has died at the age of 64.

I posted at length about Fischer over the years. Here is a rundown of posts.

The NYT has an obituary of this tragic excuse for a human being.

He may have been smart, but he was totally batshit.

His personal life was almost as quirky as the rest of his life story. He had a child by a very young woman, but he lived with famed Japanese woman chess player Miyoko Watai (pictured with Fischer) since 2000. She is around 62 or 63 years old, close to his age at the time of death.
