I would like to remember him dead and buried under a mound of dog sh-t.

Well, if you don't give a sh-t, why do you say such nasty things about him? Might as well go to Iceland and actually bury him under a mound of dog sh-t.

Grow up. The Fish was the greatest chess player the US ever produced (well, maybe Morphy was) and the politicans kissed his a** when he won the World Championship. Then 20 years later they want to put him in prison for playing chess. Bobby's never been toooooo rational anyway, but I can see where that pushed him over the edge (he obviously didn't have far to go). His remarks about 9/11 were appalling, but so what? He's got the right to say whatever he thinks and he was screwed by the US government. Give the hate-mongering against the best thing that ever happened to US chess a rest.

Maybe you know not what he said on radio of 9/11 in the Phillipines. People on this thread consider him a God! 3000 innocent people dead on 9/11 and he "PRAISES THE TERRORISTS RESPONSIBLE". I couldn't care how good in chess he was. May he die in hell.

I see all you can see is how good he was in chess. Such a MINOR thing. Had you a relative in 9/11, you'd see it a lot different, I'm certain. His comments would have you reeling and you'd forget his chess accomplishments.

His comments are a "minor thing" as they didn't kill anyone. His chess accomplishments led to a rapid growth of chess in the US and many more opportunities for people to play in the US. American chessplayers shouldn't, and don't, regard that as a "minor" thing. Fischer's comments are reprehensible, but he ain't a terrorist, he's a chessplayer and the greatest we ever produced. Try to get some perspective.

BS. Why should he face 10 years in prison at the hands of a government he can't stand for a law he, and many others, feel was unjust? If he doesn't want to return to the US and the US has no grounds for extradition, leave him alone.

You cant force this dirtbag down my throat. I'm blind to all his "contributions" and what the bag stands for. If you admire him, fine, I respect that.

I admire his games and his acheivements in chess; I have no use for his insane politics. I have to admit that I was a 14 year old player when Fischer won the World Championship and it was the only time I can ever remember chess being on the front page of the newspaper. It was an exciting time and it did lead to a great growth in chess in the US. Fischer was a great disappointment when he didn't defend his title and his comments regarding 9/11 and other nutjob political statements tarnish the man, but I do choose to focus on the games and the good he did for chess.

Okay. You're intitled to feel that way. All I know is that there is no one on earth I loathe more
than fisher. (Second to Ossama)
