How did Bobby Fischer become famous?           

Bobby Fischer is called the most insane genius in the world. He is considered as one of the most talented chess players of the epoch, undefeated chess champion and the person with IQ more than 181 points. At the same time some of people, who knew him, were sure that Bobby had some mental disorder. He arranged scandals during chess tournaments and was ruthless towards his opponent.

So, this is the story of Bobby’s life.

He started to play chess at the age of 6. From that moment he took the chess board everywhere he had gone.

The boy was not interested in studying, he considered himself cleverer than most of his teachers and soon left school.

From that moment he decided to become a world champion and devoted his life to practicing this ancient sport.

In 1972 Fischer has become a national American hero, when he defeated the Chess World Champion from Soviet Union Boris Spassky in a game that later was called “the match of the century”.

Bobby Fischer held the title during 3 years and lost the title, when he refused to play with Anatoly Karpov.

Bobby Fischer died in 2008 after years of troubled, inadequate life.

    DNA tests proved that Jinky Young was not the biological daughter of Bobby Fisher.

    Fischer’s religion was not Jewish despite his Jewish heritage. He was a self-professed atheist as a teen, then a Christian for a time before and after his World Championship match with Boris Spassky, then an agnostic and atheist.
