He played chess with his former opponent from 1972, when he for behalf of the US took the world championship.
His error was to play the match within a country who had some business restrictions from the behalf of the US or whatever.

So who is after him? The US or the country he played chess in?

Angus, what do you think should happen to people who blatantly ignore, then break the law....in this case violating international sanctions against Yugoslavia?

I understand that you feel this is the most exciting thing that ever happened in Iceland, but that does not take away from the fact that Bobby Fischer broke the law.

He played a chessmatch in 1992, on the wrong side of a border by UN definition, thereby violating some term of a business prohibition.
No other parttakers, such as his opponent got sued.
What a  terrible crime!!!!

He violated international sanctions against Yugoslavia, and he made about 3 million dollars.

So yeah, he broke the law....weather he played a chess match for profit or made some other business transaction does not matter.

What do you suppose sactions are put in place for? Maybe they are just a general guidline and can be circumvented as needed by anyone who wants to make money.

you really have no clue do you? Playing chess is not what he is wanted for...pretty simple to figure out I'd think.

"What do you suppose sactions are put in place for? Maybe they are just a general guidline and can be circumvented as needed by anyone who wants to make money."

He could have done it anywhere else in the world. So it was his mistake.
But still, come on. The mighty US stalking their own former national hero for playing chess.

It's just so bloody pathetically silly.

Oh, maybe he's a WMD, never thought of that :D
