Bobby Fischer was one of the legends of the chess masters...it will be a long time for anyone to step up into the gap.

I agree, he was a chess prodigy.

But, as an American, his actions after his 72 win are unforgivable.

But isn't part of being an American having the right to make that big an a** of yourself?
