He died of kidney failure and apparently fell ill some time ago.

Bobby Fischer, chess world champion between 1972 and 1975, an aspie if I ever read about one, and one of my childhood heroes, died at 64 yesterday in a Reykjavik hospital. There was never a better chess player.

Eh.

Unless you are interested in chess, it's just another loon.

But, he was rather Jewish, in background.

Fischer's father was listed on the birth certificate as Wender's first husband, Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, a German biophysicist. The couple married in 1933 in Moscow, USSR, where Wender was studying medicine at the First Moscow Medical Institute. However, a 2002 article by Peter Nicholas and Clea Benson of The Philadelphia Inquirer suggests that Paul Nemenyi, a Hungarian Jewish physicist, may have been Fischer's biological father.

Which, if he had any hints of (or even his father of record did),
might well have caused some of those feelings.

For some reason, Bobby Fischer popped up on the telly the other day. Could have been that the Chess World Championship match, held in NY until recently, led to it, but I only saw a few seconds before they started talking about something else. I ended up rereading some of the many books I have about him.

Poor man.

Carlsen is good but Fischer would have eaten him alive in his heyday.
