Bobby Fischer

Intro Fischer is a GM, he is a positional player. He doesnt complain when he loses and lost to Mikhail Tal 4-0, he quit chess at 29 (that was the start of his downfall i think) I felt like it'd be wrong to not mention Fischer's childhood, because it is a big part of who he became. Bobby Fischer grew up in Chicago, IL, and learned chess at the age of 6. The young Bobby grew up without a father with his mother and older sister. It was his sister who sparked his love for the game of chess, after one day she brought home an old, rusted down chess set. Bobby became a nation master at the age of 12. As the audience grew bigger, so did the pressure. Chess fans from all over the world were now tuning in on Fischer's success. It's pretty obvious that this affected him in one way or another. One of the biggest reasons of Fischer's insanity was the ongoing Cold War. Because Fischer was the best American chess player, he quickly became a massive representative of the US. He would have to, against his will, face off against the world champion, a soviet, Boriss Spassky, to see who the real king of chess is. (thats it cause im lazy.. he also mastered every chess opening i think)
