News Item: Chess champion/batty anti-Semite Bobby Fischer dies
Fischer's chess prime was long before my time, so I remember mostly as the guy who came back and violated the Yugoslavia boycott, often made anti-Semitic comments despite having a Jewish mother, and inspired the very underrated movie "Searching For Bobby Fischer." Will I miss him? Nah.
