    Bobby Fischer checks out

    My dad played a lot of competitive chess before and just after I was born. He played him ones (and of course lost).

    Bobby Fischer, First U.S. World Chess Champion, Dies

    Jan. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Bobby Fischer, the first U.S.-born chess player to become world champion, died yesterday in Iceland, the country's national radio said. He was 64.

    Fischer beat Russian champion Boris Spassky in a 1972 match in Iceland at the height of the Cold War. He moved to Iceland in 2005 after publicly criticizing his home country on several occasions. He eventually renounced his U.S. citizenship.

    He was born in Chicago in 1943.

                        Why? Because he is smarter than you and you don't understand what he's saying?

                            i think he may have been referring to the fact fischer praised osama bin laden and hated jews..

                            just a wild guess though

                                        At the risk of sounded cold, I don't really care that he died. I haven't even heard anyone even talk about him for years.
