Any Chess players here?

^^ fascinating

According to the OP documentary, Fischer himself was jewish. His real father was russian-jewish

what an amazing story, really. I'm gonna keep going with the content in this thread today (work day). Funny how even when I try to diverge from politics and conspiracy hunting (lets learn about chess!) - it always ends up somehow circling back. I can't fucking escape it lol

Honestly no idea there was any political aspect of the Bobby Fischer story, I just thought he was some chess guy.

What's even more funny is that he trashtalked JUST like fighters trashtalk, he was so ahead of his time. Coming in almost 1 hr late to Game 1 w/ Spassky was pure fucking wrestling antics whether it was deliberate or not. I can see why people were so hype for the whole thing, he was like an Ali

Took Bush Sr and Kissenger themselves to shut him down, and once again Iceland is the fucking hero of the world. I wonder if Fischer was killed in the end. The documentary was vague on that, says like he died of mental illness because refused to take his meds or something like that. Need to research this further. I would have no trouble believing he was killed if he really was getting so loud about things

Oh he only died in 2008... I assumed it was sooner. He lived to see 9/11

"He shocked the world with his comments following the September 11 2001 attacks on America.

"This is all wonderful news," he announced live on Filipino radio. "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. Death to the US."


Here, NY Times reports he died of an 'unspecified illness'

I can't find any conclusive cause of death



FUck, I have work to do, lol

Holy shit dude was hardcore:

Extremist, hateful, opinionated, angry? Yes, obviously. in spades

But tell me, does he sound crazy/insane?

[Masato]

from the vid above^^ from his interview THE DAY AFTER 9/11:



The day after.

[Masato]

He didn't see it as a false flag... he saw it as a legit attack/revenge from the Arab peoples

"No sympathy at all!" lol crusty bastard

I will look to see if later he put together the False Flag pieces

^^ @ 54:50 he describes why he 'hates chess'. In other parts of that vid he talks his admiration for good songwriters, talks of the mystery of creativity and art. parts of the vid he is singing songs with people, claims an extensive knowledge of music etc... Talks of being tortured in a Japanese prison under US gov't orders and how he punched out one of the guards, lol

Very likeable sonofabitch lol

RIP, and mad respect to him. He was a man way ahead of his time.

Anyone here ever play a game of chess against themselves? That's too deep for me.

That's how I started in high school.

How do you say chess moves, anyone know?

Bishop 3 to pawn 6.

Can I say that? How do you call moves?

[Winnson]

What? You're all sick of chess already?

I was just telling my wife the Bobby Fischer story yesterday.... still haunted by it, what a surreal life.

I thought I was getting better at the game, but found a chess app on my phone and am getting thrashed by it on the 'easy' setting, lol
