So, Russ, how about a couple of minutes of silence for RJF?
BTW, I looked up why Fischer died and it was from kidney failure. Bobby probably had high blood pressure and high BP destroys the kidneys over time if not treated. Keep in mind that this is the guy who had all the fillings in his teeth removed because he was paranoid that they might be 'transmitters'.
I doubt he would take any medications.
Originally posted by Mephisto2Gilbert, could you please share a little about what Spassky went through after his loss to Fischer? What that guy endured is worthy of a memorial of some type. Since you had an OTB game with him in which you had a draw I thought you could offer your perspective.
As one of the great players in chess history he made an important contribution to the game. But he chose to end that prematurely many years ago. For the chessworld he died then, not today.
Originally posted by kirksey957as i posted in the other BF RIP thread, he was mentally ill, and deserves a pass for things like that. Mental illness is a legitimate defense in murder cases, so why do we hold mentally ill people responsible for everything else?
Unbelievable! Unbelievable. The great protector of RHP morality wants to have an impromtu memorial for the great anti-semite Bobby Fischer. I'm just glad Fischer didn't pretend to be black.
