Subject: Chess Player Bobby Fisher has died age 64
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/18/08 at 7:05 am
Resident in Reykjavik, Bobby Fischer, the brilliant, troubled former chess champion, has died, a spokesman said Friday. He was 64.
Fischer spokesman Gardar Sverrisson said Fischer died in a Reykjavik hospital on Thursday. There was no immediate word on cause of death.
U.S.-born Fischer, a fierce critic of his homeland who renounced his U.S. citizenship, moved to Iceland in 2005.
He was world famous for defeating the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky in 1972.
The Chicago-born, Brooklyn, N.Y.-reared Fischer was wanted in the United States for playing a 1992 rematch against Cold War rival Spassky in Yugoslavia in defiance of international sanctions.

A true genius at chess and a Cold War icon. Didn't agree with his politics but I would have love to have played him a game. RIP Bobby.
