Profile of chess champion Bobby Fischer
Even during his glory years, when he humiliated the Soviet chess machine, Bobby Fischer was a mysterious figure. Thirty years later,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], the enigma remains, but it is shrouded in darkness. The man who is still regarded as his game's most brilliant player has plunged intoparanoia and hatred of his native America. Now, close friends have broken their silence to help Rene Chun solve the riddle of Fischer's descent from teenage genius to demented, vituperative anti-Semite - and occasional karaoke radio DJ in Manila
Bobby Fischer was singing the blues. As he wailed along with a 1965 recording by Jackie ('Mr Excitement') Wilson, his voice - a gravelly baritone ravaged by age but steeled by anger - rumbled through the microphone like a broken-down freight train on rusty wheels: 'You go walking down Broadway, watchin' people catch the subway! Take it from me, don't ask for a helping hand, mmm, 'cause no one will understand!' With each note he became increasingly strident. 'Bright lights will find you, and they will mess you around! Let me tell you, millions will watch you! Have mercy now, as you sink right down to the ground!'Even if you knew nothing about Bobby Fischer, listening to him sing this song would tell you all you needed to know. 'There just ain't no pity. No, no, no, in the naked city,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], yeah - New York City.' This unlikely duet, featuring Jackie Wilson and the world's first and only chess grandmaster fugitive from justice, was broadcast live, on 6 July, 2001, by DZSR Sports Radio, a Manila-based AM station that has embraced Fischer as a ratings booster. In exchange for these rare interviews (Fischer hasn't given a magazine or TV interview in 30 years), Sports Radio management has happily provided Fischer with hours of free airtime to spin his classic R records and to lash out at his enemies, both real and imagined. Fischer categorises these enemies - including the former New York mayor Ed Koch, both Presidents Bush, and the Times Mirror Corporation - as 'Jews, secret Jews, or CIA rats who work for the Jews.' This radio broadcast was Fischer's 17th in the Philippines. The karaoke interlude was a departure, but otherwise it was no different from the previous 16. Fischer's talking points never vary: Bobby Fischer is being persecuted by world Jewry. The United States government is a 'brutal, evil dictatorship' that has falsely accused Bobby Fischer of a crime and forced him to live in exile. The Jews are a 'filthy, lying bastard people' bent on world domination through such insidious schemes as the Holocaust ('a money-making invention'),[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], the mass murder of Christian children ('their blood is used for black-magic ceremonies'), and junk food (William Rosenberg, the founder of Dunkin' Donuts, is singled out as a culprit). For chess buffs who tune in for some shoptalk, there is this: Chess is nothing more than 'mental masturbation.' Not only is the game dead, it's fixed. Garry Kasparov, the world's top-rated player, is a 'crook' and a former KGB spy who hasn't played a match in his life in which the outcome wasn't fixed. The No. 1 transgression, however, the thing that has devastated Fischer, embittered him, and made him screech at night, alone in his apartment, is the 'Bekins heist.' Millions of dollars' worth of personal memorabilia, painstakingly collected and stockpiled by Bobby Fischer in a 10-by-10-foot Bekins storage room in Pasadena, California, has been stolen from him in a secret plot involving the Rothschilds (Jews), Bill Clinton (a secret Jew), and unnamed Bekins executives (CIA rats who work for the Jews). The international chess community, which tracks Fischer's downward spiral the way astronomers track the orbit of a dying comet, has been monitoring his radio interviews since the first one aired, back in January 1999. For the most part chess people have for years downplayed the importance of his outlandish outbursts, explaining that Fischer's raging anti-Semitism, acute paranoia, and tenuous grasp on reality are hyped by the media and misunderstood by the public. In the early Nineties, his girlfriend at the time said: 'He's like a child. Very, very simple.' Another friend says: 'Aside from his controversial views,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], as a person Bobby is very kind, very nice, and very human.' Many Fischer apologists argue that he is in fact deranged,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ大阪[/b][/url], and needs psychiatric help. They are quick to point out that he was raised in a Jewish neighbourhood in Brooklyn, has had close friends who were Jewish, and in fact had a Jewish mother (information he has gone to great lengths to deny). It seems hard to imagine that his hate-filled rhetoric isn't an unfortunate manifestation of some underlying illness. But even the Fischer apologists had to throw up their hands when he took to the Philippine airwaves on 11 September, 2001. In an interview with Bombo Radyo in Baguio City, Fischer, just hours after the Twin Towers attacks, could barely contain his delight. 'This is all wonderful news,' he announced. 'I applaud the act. The US and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them. Nobody gave a shit. Now it's coming back to the US. Fuck the US. I want to see the US wiped out.' Fischer added that the attacks provided the ideal opportunity to stage an overdue coup d' He envisioned,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], he said, a 'Seven Days in May scenario', with the country taken over by the military; he also hoped to see all its synagogues closed, and hundreds of thousands of Jews executed. 'Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa,' he said. 'The country should be returned to the American Indians.' Before signing off Fischer cried out: 'Death to the US!' The US Chess Federation had always been willing to ignore Fischer's public antics. But this was too much. On 28 October 2001 it passed a motion denouncing Fischer's incendiary broadcast. The backlash has reached all the way to grassroots chess clubs. 'It's because of Fischer that I'm involved in chess,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url],' says Larry Tamarkin, a manager at the Marshall Chess Club, a famous New York parlour frequented by Fischer in his teens. 'But I can't help feeling a sense of betrayal, anger, and sadness. You devote your entire life to one player and find out he's completely off his rocker. It ruins everything. He's an embarrassment.' Asked about the possibility of a Fischer comeback, Tamarkin can't conceal his disgust. 'We prefer that he doesn't come back. Because if he does, it will destroy the last vestige of magic.' In reality the magic has been gone for some 30 years. That's how long it has been since Fischer played his only world championship match. Why he stopped playing tournaments, and how his life unravelled so pathetically, is a story one can learn only by seeking out those who actually know Fischer. There are surprisingly few such people - and fewer yet are willing to talk. Fischer doesn't tolerate friends who give interviews. His address book is a graveyard of crossed-out names of people who have been quoted in articles about him. But some formerly loyal Fischer associates, appalled at his recent behaviour, are finally talking about him. They reveal that his story doesn't follow the usual celebrity-gone-to-seed arc. He has not been brought low by drugs or alcohol,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], by sex scandals or profligate spending. Instead he is a victim of his own mind - and of the inordinate attention that the world has given it. As a child in Brooklyn, he was essentially a hotshot club player - a prodigy, to be sure, but not obviously world-championship material. But at age 13,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], in 1956, Fischer made a colossal leap. That year he became the youngest player ever to win the US Junior Championship. He also dominated the US tournament circuit. What was astounding wasn't simply that a gawky 13-year-old kid in blue jeans was suddenly winning tournaments. It was the way he was winning. He didn't just beat people - he humiliated them. The thing he relished most was watching his opponents squirm. 'I like the moment when I break a man's ego,' he once said. Later in the year he played a game so remarkable that it was immediately dubbed 'the Game of the Century'. Fischer faced Donald Byrne, then one of the top 10 US players, in New York. The battle was packed with pyrotechnics: complex combinations, ingenious sacrifices,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], danger and apparent danger - enough to make Fischer, who won, a chess god overnight. Asked to explain his sudden emergence on the world stage of chess, he shrugged and said: 'I just got good.' The duel was dissected in newspapers and magazines around the world and won Fischer the Brilliancy Prize, an annual chess award that recognises particularly imaginative play. Even the Russians, loath to acknowledge so much as the existence of American players, grudgingly tipped their hats. Mikhail Botvinnik, the reigning world champion, reportedly said: 'We will have to start keeping an eye on this boy.' That is exactly what the chess world did from that moment forward. Fischer's achievements were staggering: in his time he was the youngest US master (at 14 years and five months), the youngest international grandmaster, and the youngest candidate for the world championship (at 15 years and six months). He also won eight US chess championship titles - a record not likely to be broken. Fischer also won a lot of games - an impressive fact given that draws among grandmasters are commonplace. At the highest level, players are so familiar with one another's games that they can practically read their opponents' minds. The memorising of opening theory and the intensive study of an opponent's oeuvre so dominate the modern game that when two grandmasters square off,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ偽物[/b][/url], the first 20 moves unfold like a stale sitcom plot. Players often lament that 'draw death' is killing the game. But Fischer didn't play for draws. He was always on the attack - even rhetorically. Of the Soviet champions who had dominated the game so completely, he said: 'They have nothing on me,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], those guys. They can't even touch me.' The Soviets were not amused. They dismissed the young American upstart as nyekulturni - literally, 'uncultured'. This wasn't far from the truth, and Fischer knew it. He lacked education, and had always been insecure about this. His deficiency was particularly glaring now that most of his interaction was with adults, many of them sophisticated and well-read. The answer, Fischer thought,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカサイズ[/b][/url], was to upgrade his wardrobe. So at 16, using his chess winnings, he traded in his uniform of sneakers, flannel shirt, and jeans for luxurious bespoke suits. He revelled in his new Beau Brummell image. When he travelled abroad for tournaments, he frequently visited local tailors and had suits cut for his gangly, broad-shouldered physique. He liked to brag that he owned 17 such suits, which he rotated to ensure even wear. 'I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts,' he once said. 'I don't want to look like a bum. I get up in the morning, I put on a suit.' The change did wonders for Fischer's self-esteem. He boasted that once he had defeated the Russians and become world champion, he'd take on all challengers. Like the boxing champ Joe Louis, he'd have his own bum-of-the-month club. He boldly promised that he was 'gonna put chess on the map'. He envisioned a rock-star existence for himself: a $50,000 custom-made Rolls-Royce, a yacht,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], a private jet, and a mansion - in either Beverly Hills or Hong Kong - 'built exactly like a rook'. Asked what his long-term goals were, he replied: 'All I want to do, ever, is play chess.' But the sartorial facade of sophistication was a flimsy one. Those close to Fischer knew that when it came to art, politics, or anything else the cosmopolitan set talked about, he was at a total loss. 'If you were out to dinner with Bobby in the Sixties, he wouldn't be able to follow the conversation,' says Don Schultz, a former friend. 'He would have his little pocket set out and he'd play chess at the table. He had a one-dimensional outlook on life.' This limited world view prompted Fischer to drop out of Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall High School in 1959. Many chess insiders have insisted that his poor grades at school were a direct result of an abnormally high IQ - Bobby wasn't stupid, he was just bored. (Although Fischer was a poor student, he was regularly reading Russian chess journals.) It's a point that has long been debated. Everybody agrees that Fischer is no dummy, including Fischer himself (during one interview he said: 'I object to being called a chess genius, because I consider myself to be an all-around genius who just happens to play chess'), but chess champions aren't necessarily geniuses. What they need for success is powerful memories, the ability to concentrate deeply, refined recognition and problem-solving skills, decisiveness, stamina, and a killer instinct. When he dropped out of high school,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], Fischer was living in Brooklyn with his older sister, Joan, and his mother, Regina. Regina was a registered nurse, a secular Jew,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], and a single mother with a bohemian lifestyle that included leftist politics and social activism but not chess. (When Fischer was born, his mother was married to Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, a German biophysicist, who is generally assumed to be Bobby's father,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], although Bobby's paternity is the subject of some speculation.) Fischer's relationship with his mother was strained, in part because of her politics, her religious heritage, and her general eccentricity. 'Bobby's mother was a cuckoo,' the New York Times chess columnist Robert Byrne says. 'She was an intelligent neurotic full of far-fetched ideas.' As Fischer developed as a chess player,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], he distanced himself from his mother. In 1962, he began living alone in the family apartment (his mother and Joan had moved out). Fischer began to devote 14 hours a day to chess. He had some 200 chess books and countless foreign chess journals stacked on his floor. He had an exquisite inlaid chess table, made to order in Switzerland, and three additional boards, one beside each bed in his apartment. As part of a Spartan training regime he would play matches against himself that lasted for days, sleeping in the three beds in rotation. Asked how he spent his free time, Fischer replied: 'I'll see a movie or something. There's really nothing for me to do. Maybe I'll study some chess books.' As Fischer became more successful, he managed to offend and estrange almost everyone who was in a position to advance his career. He frequently backed out of tournaments. He'd threaten a no-show unless the promoters offered more prize money. He also regularly groused about noise and light levels. The press loved it. Fischer was labelled an insufferable diva and a psych-out artist who made life hell for tournament officials and tried to rattle opponents by complaining about, among other things,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], high-frequency sounds that only he and several species of mammals could detect. The press also loved to talk about his greed. But Fischer never cared about money per se. 'Bobby wanted to get all kinds of money for everything,' says Arnold Denker, a former US champion, 'and yet when he got it, he pissed it away. In Reykjavik site of the 1972 world-championship match against Boris Spassky the maids who cleaned up his room made thousands of dollars because he left money under the pillows and all over. He wanted money because to him it meant that people thought he was important.' Fischer demanded richer purses not only to validate his self-worth but because he was convinced promoters were out to fleece him. He would sign a tournament contract only to obsess later about how quickly his demands had been met. Although the prize money involved was always more than fair, Fischer's paranoia invariably got the best of him. 'Away from the board, Bobby suffered from a terrible inferiority complex,' says Allan Kaufman, former director of the American Chess Foundation. 'In his mind he concocted lots of excuses: people were taking advantage of him; they were smarter than he was; if he had only had their education, he would know what to ask for in negotiations.' The Russians certainly weren't willing to lend support to Fischer's title bid - especially after Sports Illustrated in 1962 published an interview in which he accused the Soviet chess establishment of cheating in an effort to deny him what he viewed as his birthright: the world chess championship. Fischer alleged that Soviet grandmasters were forced to lose or draw games in order to advance the careers of favoured players who were being groomed as world champions. Fischer argued that he was at a great disadvantage, because during a tournament he had to endure a gruelling schedule of games while several anointed Soviet grandmasters cruised from one victory to the next, conserving their strength for the real competition - which more often than not was Fischer himself in the finals. Published after Fischer had finished a disappointing fourth in the 1962 Cura Candidates tournament, the interview was denounced by the Soviets as sour grapes. Some familiar with the palace intrigue of the Soviet Chess Federation, however,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], disagree. Nikolai Krogius, a Soviet grandmaster now living in Staten Island, believes that Fischer's allegations of foul play were valid. 'There were some agreed draws at Cura he admits. According to Arnold Denker, beating the Soviet chess machine during that era was all but impossible. 'In 1946,' he says, 'I had an adjourned game with Mikhail Botvinnik in which I was ahead. During the break I saw Botvinnik eating dinner and relaxing. I didn't have dinner. I went to my room and studied. When the game resumed, Botvinnik remarkably found the only move to draw the game. I said, "How is that possible?" Someone told me, "Listen, young man, all of these people were analysing for him while he was having his dinner." I was naive in those days.' 'I'll never play in one of those rigged tournaments again,' Fischer fumed after losing to the Soviet Armenian champion Tigran Petrosian at Cura ' Soviets clobber us easy in team play. But man to man, I'd take Petrosian on any time.' The five-time US chess champion Larry Evans agrees that the Soviets were less than good sportsmen when it came to defending their world title. But he also believes that Fischer was looking for an excuse for losing. 'The fact of the matter is,' Evans says, 'that in '62 at Cura Bobby just wasn't good enough yet.'After Cura Fischer dropped out of international competition for several years. His cash flow, which was about $5,000 a year, slowed to a trickle. Money was so scarce that he began living at a YMCA. When he couldn't afford that, he moved in with friends, hopping from apartment to apartment and running up phone bills he couldn't pay. Broke and feeling increasingly detached from New York's insular chess community, he moved to California in the spring of 1968. He was 25 years old. Fischer's move to the West Coast has sometimes been considered the beginning of his so-called 'wilderness years'. Although he wasn't playing in many tournaments, his work ethic never wavered: he continued studying chess during most of his waking hours. But late at night, Arnold Denker recalls, Fischer began prowling parking lots, slipping white-supremacist pamphlets under windscreen wipers. He began studying anti-Semitic texts such as Mein Kampf and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He became obsessed with German history and the Third Reich, and collected Nazi memorabilia. It was rumoured that he slept with a picture of Hitler hanging over his bed. Larry Evans says Fischer's admiration for the F had less to do with anti-Semitism than with ego. 'We once went to see a documentary on Hitler,' Evans recalls. 'When we came out, Bobby said that he admired Hitler. I asked him why, and he said, "Because he imposed his will on the world."' (Fischer has never made an effort to conceal his distaste for Jews. As ea
