And you shouldn't care what anyone else says..

The only rivalry that Fischer cannot defeat is Bobby Fischer himself!

Bobby made chess popular in the world...He was hero in ches history!!

His sister bought him the chess set, not his mother.

Fisher was 150 points above his competitors, which is unheard of. If he lived in this era, he would probably have been rated around the 3000 level. He was greater than Kasparov (who is getting his records busted by Carlsen now a days).

agreed. but my IQ is just 100, 105 on a good day. But I can still do basic math. I can still tell when im being manipulated. I can still see when others are politically or ideologically motivated. I still get mad when my tax dollars are going to support a religion

Mr Fischer was telling the truth.

Excellent, excellent. Thank you for posting...

@TheCabal eletronics gadgets ? name them please? i dont know much about chess, but i like Bobby Fischer.

Now MrCassandradear that you just described yourself, how would you describe Bobby Fischer?

@Elaniago Who is the greatest in your opinion?

one could say that though bobby fischer was very much an american, it was russian versus russian in 1972 since bobby is descended from russian emigres.

@blackoil911 if so, why didnt the soviet send karpov instead of spassky? knowing that the reputation of the soviet union chess was at stake second was only the world title. it was because at that time spassky was the current best russian player.

@lavebug It's definitely illegal in the UK.

So Fischer was part Russian?

ur right^_^

i don't agree..fischer didnt only beat spassky. he beat the entire soviet union machinery of chess which everyone never thought that it would be possible..it made the russians re-structure their massive studies on the game.

@duckgeezer No, he didn't have Aspergers. He was gifted but lacked proper adult guidance. If he'd had adults in his life who had made sure he had a more well-rounded, well-adjusted life, he might not have become so eccentric in his behavior and may not have gone off on tangents later. There are plenty of gifted celebrities out there who stay in balance as adults because parents made sure they were balanced as children.

A real Good Will Hunting.

I'm his sister and can say, our mother bought him the first set.

@CommunityCam just make sure you know the difference as well.

I agree with eyesrevive, "Biography" is usually very inaccurate.

B4 you sunk my battleship

Psychiatrist: Fischer was chronically depressed, untreated. Had he been properly treated with antidepressants he would have been an entirely different man. Sadly he was never treated. Chess was an obsession dominated man. A chess genius for the ages.

It's true that anti-depressants (massive, regular doses of fluoride) do turn you into somebody else. A shame he was out there speaking his mind at great cost to himself rather than taking the advice of a stooges (who are branded "experts") for the system he was fighting against and becoming a zombie.

@blackoil911 u dont get it do you?? chess org at that tym were run by soviet they were so powerful that they choose who wants to be great. they thought they were unbeatable and invincible until bobby fischer came and demolished them and russians could not accept that. they were humiliated by one person named bobby fischer. that event changed the whole complexity of the game up to this very moment! that's a fact. Fischer the greatest chess player of all time.

Does anyone else think in the picture at 2:38 Boris Spassky looks a lot like Will Ferrell? I do!

Right, only problem is I didn't just bash him. I've seen him before, he's a raging antisemite who goes around the internet inciting hate. I thought it was only fair that an uneducated hate mongerer gets a rude response. Just because I responded in a mean way to a mean person, doesn't make me arrogant. If you don't want to see that, then fine. It's not that I didn't get the connection, more that I was ready to set the record straight.

No you're wrong, especially because I was mainly referring to his opinion about Jews. Jew haters love to make themselves feel like everyone agrees with them, but they are outside the norm. There are very few people who actually share Fischer's beliefs.

@@Shelmerdine745 For starters you embarrass yourself by starting out and saying "Karpov would have won easily, if you knew anything about chess you'd know this." That is ridiculous on it's face and laughable. Also, they weren't of even strength. Bobby was a once in a lifetime talent, get that through your head, Karpov is an all-time great, I'm a fan myself, but not quite the talent Bobby was. And the fact that Bobby did what he did, crushing all the Russians, and winning the world title by himself and not with the help of trainers and coaches and a stable of other GM's to work with highlights that point. If Bobby had half the support Anatoly had he would have been dominant to degrees you never seen before. GTHO of here with your nonsense talking about someone rolling Bobby. If you said that back in 1972 you would have been laughed out of any chess club you walked into spewing that garbage.

@Elaniago what about Morphy???? its reductional to say " Kasparov and Karpov are the best" ..... Kasparov 's been beaten Karpov's been beaten even Kastaniuk learn to loose so ...I think THERE IS NO BEST CHESSPLAYER IN THE WORLD there is only good games....

@duckgeezer Asbergers, huh? Very trendy. People will continue to armchair-diagnose Fischer decades from now in an attempt to explain away his indefensible behaviour, but the "woulda destroyed Kasparov" boast is total bullshit. Given their wildly different styles it would have been a killer match, but had Fischer not sucked out of the title in '75 and continued as champion, GK would have ended his reign sooner or later.

Who cares what nationality he was. What they did to him was a shame for somebody who gave the US, so much. Shame on you forever...

Clearly, Bobby was a classic case of a "monomaniac," as are most persons of genius ... I suspect. Here's a pretty good article on genius: finalspeciescode.com/how-to-become-a-genius-at-something/

At least he was recognized with high prestige in what he loved to do despite the tail of his despicable character.

my god what happened to him he grew crazy

What's with all the antisemitic opinions being expressed here? This is a video about Bobby Fischer, not Hitler. Are we forgetting, that Bobby himself was of Jewish descent? This shows his hypocrisy, and paranoid delusive tendencies, that he sadly experienced during his reclusive period, and the years leading up to his death. Bobby, to put it bluntly, went crazy. How could anyone possibly find themselves relating to his antisemitism? That this man's opinions are taken seriously is a tragedy.

He was like floyd with all the freaking demands. Kasparov is the goat.

I don't think he was a bad person...he just went paranoid from isolation. Like me :)

Bobby Fischer was much more of a "Mike Tyson" of chess than a "Muhammad Ali" as described in the intro of the documentary. Completely unstoppable during his few years of prime, but dropped off a cliff due to outside reasons. And ended up with a two-sided legacy of invincibility vs. tragedy of the individual. I can't answer the question of whether Fischer was a better chess player than Kasparov. I do know that if Fischer was the Tyson of chess, Kasparov was the Ali.
