Mad Bobby Fischer.

Mad Bobby Fischer. Listen to reclusive chess genius Bobby Fischer's September 11 rant on the radio. Extra bonuses on the site include a way to contact Bobby, details of his storage dispute and a copy of his sister's will.
This was previously talked about on MeFi but is well worth an actual listen.
Grrr! Used it about two weeks ago and there were tons of scanned documents. Before I posted just tested the radio link.....that works at least. I guess there has been lawyerly type behaviour going on.

as we discussed last year, it's awful and sad that a man of such immortal chess genius has sunk to this level.
mental illness, though, is probably an important factor in Fischer's fall. Maybe a brain capable of such inhuman deep strategic thinking is more prone to manic depression and schizophrenia than the average Joe's brain, who knows
( I doubt that even neurologists could give us data on this. I'd love to know more about this topic though )

by the way, for the chess enthusiasts: imagine a Morphy-Fischer game (pre-total breakdown Fischer of course). Just imagine it

Um. Is it just me, or does he sound like the world's most evil Muppet?

Am I missing something, Meech, or didn't you notice that almost all links on the page are broken? The, uh, dirty jew-hater by the name of Matsumoto seems to have linked everything to his C drive?
