Yeah, I think the world of rabidly anti-Semetic Jewish chess players who fought the commies and thought 9/11 was "wonderful news" is a fairly exclusive club alright :eek:Quote:

The rants are not exactly what he should be remembered for. It was clear to anybody who saw him the few times he was "interviewed" on TV that he was mentally ill in a serious way. He was akin to a Bang Bang type eccentric ranting non stop about the effin USA and effin Jews.Quote:

When he was more sane (or less insane) in 1972 he blazed his way to the world title by trouncing 3 of the top 10 grandmasters. This was unheard of. The final series against Spassky was never off the world headline news.
This is a documentary uploaded to YouTube

Other parts of it are linked there.
As controversial as the 1972 they were surpassed by the 1978 games. Fischer paranaoia about the Soviet dirthy tricks was well justified.
