Review of london chess centre::Rummikub Instructions?








When               it               came               to               chess,               Bobby               Fischer               was               considered               by               many               to               be               the               greatest               player               in               the               history               of               the               game,               but               he               made               a               few               bad               moves               away               from               the               board               that               alienated               him               from               the               United               States.

AFP               reported               on               Friday,               January               18,               that               Fischer               died               at               the               age               of               64               at               his               home               in               Iceland.

Bobby               Fischer's               adult               life               is               a               study               in               complexity               and               controversy               and               shows               a               man               whose               own               genius               seemed,               at               times,               to               be               too               much               for               even               him               to               control.
               Bobby               Fischer:               A               Cold               War               Champion
               In               1972,               the               Cold               War               was               still               a               hot               topic               when               Robert               James               "Bobby"               Fischer,               a               high               school               dropout               and               chess               grandmaster               at               15,               defeated               Soviet               World               Champion               Boris               Spassky               in               Reykjavik,               Iceland,               making               him               a               national               hero               at               the               age               of               29.
               Reportedly               self-taught,               Fischer,               in               some               ways,               was               the               poster               boy               for               bad               sportsmanship.

During               the               matches               with               Spassky,               he               demanded               more               money               and               better               playing               conditions.

Whether               these               were               the               actions               of               a               Prima               Donna               or               a               psychological               trick,               Spassky               phoned               in               his               resignation               before               the               start               of               their               21st               game,               making               Fischer               the               first               American               to               become               World               Champion.

               Searching               for               Bobby               Fischer               in               a               Police               Lineup
               Fischer               didn't               maintain               his               status               as               a               national               hero               for               very               long.

After               refusing               to               defend               his               tile,               Fischer               was               stripped               of               the               World               Championship               title               in               1975.

Six               years               later,               he               was               mistakenly               identified               as               a               suspect               in               a               California               Bank               robbery.

Once               again,               Fischer               was               victorious,               but               public               opinion               was               a               lot               cooler               than               it               was               20               years               earlier.

A               wanted               man               in               the               United               States,               Fischer               reportedly               was               living               in               Japan               and               in               2004,               he               was               arrested               at               Tokyo's               Narita               airport               for               traveling               on               a               passport               that               had               been               revoked               by               the               U.S.

               Bobby               Fischer's               Icelandic               Citizenship
               Fischer               escaped               extradition               to               the               United               States               when               Iceland,               the               site               of               his               greatest               chess               victory,               granted               him               temporary               citizenship               in               2005.

"He               was               quite               happy               to               be               in               Iceland,               but               perhaps               he               felt               a               bit               trapped...since               he               could               not               travel.

On               December               2,               2001,               The               London               Telegraph               published               the               following               quotes               attributed               to               Fischer               during               the               interview:
               "This               is               all               wonderful               news.

It               is               time               to               finish               off               the               US               once               and               for               all."

All               the               crimes               the               US               has               committed               in               the               world.

This               just               shows,               what               goes               around               comes               around,               even               to               the               US.
