Catch It Whilst You Still Can (Fischer)

Someone has posted the full clip with Fischer on the Bob Hope Show
shortly after after Fischer won the world title.

It is possibly infringing some copyright law and may soon get pulled.

It's really funny and enlightening.

Bobby sits down at the board and asks Bob Hope if there any camera's here.

Bob Hope asks Bobby if the audience is quiet enough.

Fischer replies this audience is always quiet.

Catch it whilst you can.

Thanks Greenpawn. This is the best video I've ever seen of Fischer. I've downloaded a copy using keepvid.com in case it gets pulled.

I emailed it to me also. Great video! He showed a real sense of humor there. Wonder how he lost it.

It was scripted.

I thought Fischer played his part very well. What I really loved though was watching him in action over the chess board - the way he enveloped the piece in his long but delicate fingers and transported it in a sweeping motion to its destination square was a joy to watch. I'm going to learn how to do that myself, I'm sure the intimidating effect it will have on my opponents will earn me more wins than a month of studying opening tricks or endgame technique.
