Dredlock, Fischer stated he hoped for a coup d'état in the US, and that the military government would then execute "hundreds of thousands of American Jewish leaders", "arrest all the Jews", and "close all synagogues". He described the attack of 9/11 as "wonderful news".

You keep chasing that rainbow, though.

However, he only said these statements after using his amazing 182 IQ to determine that the United States was being controlled by Jews.

He believed that the only way that the United States could be redeemed would be if the Military took over, and then executed all of these hundreds of thousands of Jewish "ring-leaders", as he called them, which he believed were controlling the country. Synagogues would all be destroyed, but all of the rest of the Jews in the USA that were not leaders would still be allowed to live in prisons.

So it would seem clear from his remarks that he was in favor of bringing back the Nazi concentration camps, only this time right here in America.

He was clearly one seriously messed up man. Since both of his parents were Jewish, he must have thus hated himself too.

Perhaps it was all of that hatred bottled up inside him that caused his death at such an early age of 64.

um. so what do you so that improves the world so much mav?

Well 88 I have had 2 careers in sevice to my community and country. There was at least one other person for sure that was alive longer because I was there, possibly many more.

If that doesn't count more than playing a board game for a living to you, that's your problem I suppose.

didn't know he was a crazy loon (just thought excentric) that vocally hates on a race of people until a year a two ago

too bad genius often comes hand in hand with lunacy (ironic isn't it?)

I did like how he came out of hiding to beat that russian guy again before disapearing again. This is the reason the US wanted to arrest him. They played the game in Yugoslavia which we had a trade embargo upon. Fischer won money in the match and the that was in direct violation of the embargo.

this thread is bringing back the desire to play some chess again. think i'll just stick to the AH2 chess pieces at war instead

You'd be surprised about the TRUE stories behind the geniuses we love.

Take the guy from "A Beautiful Mind." While he was a genius, he was also a predatorial pedophiliac.

"If that doesn't count more than playing a board game for a living to you, that's your problem I suppose."

should it? or should i appreciate the contributions that everyone makes.

now, that's not to lessen your contribution, but give me a break...most people don't do what you do and most people contribute just fine.

are football players are losers too?

Bobby was a bit nutty, such as being an ati semite jew....
However, I always felt sad about the U.S. not remembering him on his victory in 1972, - it was a big slap in the face of the USSR in the middle of the cold war. It was not just a chess victory, and even as only such, it was a crushing victory!
He did get quite rough in his statements and he did get jailed for quite a while for that, - in Japan. The long arm of the USA can indeed be long if you open your mouth too much, however it seems odd to me when the USA has Nazis in brown and black clothes openly marching in public without any measure.
I also feel a bit sad that he didn't finish his project, - which was a new ruleset on chess along with a special clock, in order to inspire the game of chess as a game of thought and vision rather than a game of memory.
(I always sucked at chess unless I managed to get the position abnormal enough to be able to use my head rather than memory of maneuvers).

P.S.
Drediock, I want to thank you for your input. I will forward it to some chessplayers.

yah...i know. but i thought it was a pretty dumb statement.

Well, I don't know what tortured him so badly to cause him to hold such a hateful view of his country and the Jews. I certainly don't agree with his politics. We won't miss him for that. It may be a product of his upbringing, his genius, or just insanity.

OTOH, he was one of the finest chess minds ever to play the game. Hard to argue there.

Last year I finally got hold of a copy of his out of print book "My 60 Memorable Games". I think it is the best of the lot. I like to play the King's Indian as black, and Fisher was brilliant at it. Get the book and play through some of the games...amazing stuff.

I'm still waiting for you to show me the quote in the thread where I made that statement 88.

"If that doesn't count more than playing a board game for a living to you, that's your problem I suppose."

So is it PMS that got you all worked up over this?

Sure he contributed more then a racist chess player, why do you feel so personaly slighted?

Mav has every right to be proud of his service.
