Today is my 64th birthday (born on 9th March 1960). Bobby Fischer is and will remain my absolute inspiration and gateway into the world of chess. I was only 12 when he beat Spassky at Reykjavik, and shortly afterwards I was playing in my school team. For all his faults, when he was in the zone, he was almost untouchable. God bless his tortured soul.

Unfortunately we don't share a birthday (and I'm a few years older) but our track records are similar. I'd 'played' for years as a wood-pusher, barely knowing the rules - much less any decent strategy! - until the Fischer PHenomenon peaked (the title match itself, preceded by the Candidates and those brutal play-offs) completely captured me in my late teens. Within months I'd joined a club, bought 'My 60 memorable games' and almost wore it out, volunteered as caretaker for two nights a week at the Sydney Chess Centre, won my first Open tournament. Not long after I joined a second club ("Army Reserve"!) and played A-grade for them before helping to establish a new club in a suburb closer to home. Collected a few prizes over the years and retired a decade later when life got in the way. :) But "Classic" Chess remains one of my first true loves. Salutations Bobby!

Q1 - Why isn't Zuko Israel & Sokka Hamas? ATLA netflix S01E01 - I noticed something: - Zuko is like Israel because Zuko accepts a 1v1 fight to reduce civilian casualties. - But Sokka like Hamas / Palestine is STILL a war criminal (just like in the original with the false flag on the hot air balloon) by using children as child soldiers and human shields by putting them in the front lines namely at the gates of the southern water tribe. Lol. 2 Interesting how people blame Gaza children's deaths on Israel rather than Hamas. So why won't I blame the air nomads' children's death on air nomads because for all I know the air nomads used children as human shields? Same with water tribe or earth kingdom. Idk about Sozin Ozai Azulon Iroh but Zuko is like Israel because Zuko tries to reduce civilian casualties by fighting 1v1 while Hamas just like, Sokka and perhaps water earth air nations, try to maximise civilian casualties by using their civilians especially children as human shields & child soldiers. Disgusting. That's what I like about netflix adaptation. There's more moral ambiguity. In fact there's more reason to side with the fire nation. 3 Btw why isn't the ff yet another way the water tribe are chickenhawk war criminals like Ismail Haniyeh who lives in a 5 star hotel in Qatar while children die in Gaza in everyday because of Ismail's war crimes of human shields hostage taking (if not outright direct killing of civilians) etc? The northern water tribe refuses to teach its own women fighting waterbending but will/would teach female avatars waterbending. Lol!!! 'thank you 12YO CHILD avatar for fighting for us. Meanwhile we'll rest in our 5 star hotels surrounded by our women who will do healing water bending on us.' 4 How come Sozin, Jet, Yon Rha, et al can't commit war crimes but water tribe Pakku, Amon, Unalaq, Hama, Sokka can? --- More info: - p1w4Rr-XW - psGT3h - Lzuv_72ybAs

How's it sad BEFORE Iroh fully defects? But even after Iroh defects, I don't see how it's sadder than Aang's reaction to air nomads.

To be fair, Germans had been immigrating to Argentina since the 19th century, with huge numbers immigrating in the 1920's. One of the reasons many Nazis chose to flee to Argentina was that a German community was already well established there. Pilnik immigrated in 1939 - he probably did so because he opposed the Nazis. I was still thinking the same thing you are saying though, lol. :-)

The True GOAT

One day after me and same day as Ravel... something about the second week of March..

I think Fischer was the kind of person that because of his high intellect was difficult to know but he saw the world at a different level not just in chess but in everything. He is kind of like the Nikola Tesla of chess to me.

when you say "this position has never reached again" you mean until then(1959) or until today?

Fischer VS Karpov. Whom wulda won? Would Fischer have defended his title?
