Product Information
Is Bobby Fischer the all-time greatest chess genius? No one can answer that question but his career is truly inspiring: the struggle of one man against the entire Eastern European chess elite. After a steady but spectacular triumphal march towards the World Title in 1972 he never played in public again, except for a controversial match in 1992 against his old rival Boris Spassky. Since then, an increasingly alienated Fischer has wandered the globe, only surfacing for occasional radio interviews. His lowest point came when he was heard condoning the attack on the Twin Towers in New York. The controversy surrounding Fischer continues to deepen following his Japanese jail sentence and subsequent extradition battle.Product Identifiers
