Fischer again

Sigh...

My one dealing with Bobby was when I sold him a copy of
Marty Hirsch's M-Chess via his intermediary, "Mrs. Kennedy."

I was not impressed at all by the Fischer aura or persona.

He struck me as extremely disrespectful.

To many chess grandmasters and the "profession" of chess,
Bobby *was* a saint - he raised the general financial
renumeration as well as the playing conditions of top
flight chess substantially.

On the other hand, in order to do that, he was a boor, a
recluse, and deluded. Then, he made a bad mistake of
taking on the U.S. government by not paying his taxes.

A big mistake. Poor Bobby had a pretty sad life....

All ego.
