Bobby Fischer
Aug. 16th, 2006 12:46 amI watched a documentary about Bobby Fischer, the world chess champion.
Like most documentaries about game players, it's almost entirely about psychology, rather than the game itself. I don't think the rook or knight were ever mentioned by name in the film.
Strange that he became so anti-Semitic, particularly if his mother is Jewish. The documentary provides some evidence that even his biological father is probably Jewish too. I wonder what it is about anti-Semitism that makes it so common in people with damaged souls.
