strange but brilliant. i remember his 1972 match against spassky. he beat the guy many years later in an exhibition match too.
After his comments in the 9/11 attack, I hope he burns in hell. This guy was totally looney tunes.
depends on what he said. and while you don't agree with him, i don't believe anyone's spirit should burn in hell.
The day after 9/11, he made these statements (among others):
This is wonderful news. It's time for the US to get their heads kicked in. Finish off the US once and for all. F**k the US. F**k the Jews. They're murderous, criminal, thieving, lying bastards. They made up the Holocaust. They are the worst liars.
What an egomaniac. F**k him. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.

was he arrested and/or convicted for committing treason? no. he stated his opinion. last time, i checked that's still legal in this country. you don't agree. that's your perogative. i've stated my opinion.
He should rot in hell. He's a traitor and, as far as I'm concerned, a worthless person.
And to whoever it was that said nobody had a spirit that belonged in hell... I'd like to ask: What shall we do with the man that recently killed and decapitated a young hiker here in northeast Georgia (that we have also found out killed a Florida woman and an elderly North Carolina person)? What about your parents or family? Is there not any circumstances that justifies a person rotting in hell? I beg to differ with you on that opinion... I know it's sort of off topic from Fischer but, like I already said, he belongs there, too.
Regarding your signature on the bottom, are you indeed that person? If so, what happened to you?
Unfortunately, he suffered the fate of many great child prodigies. If you look at any genious throughout history, there is always some level of mental dysfunction there. It is another great "nature vs nurture" type debate as to whether his genious was spawned from inherent unhinged madness, or simply the stress of being a child genious drove him mad. Judging from my own personal experience, probably a little bit of both.
