One of the brightest stars in the firmament of chess has gone out.
A favourite quote from the big man: "I love the moment when I break a man's ego".
In true chess style, the game is over, the king has been toppled.
If you haven't read it already, read the great book about the World Championship with Spassky, entitled Bobby Fischer Goes to War.
And look up some of his games and gape in awe. For instance, his artistry with the Sicilian Najdorf, which should arguably be called the Fischer Variation anyway.
