Bobby Fischer dies at age 64
Here is one story, here are others. My favorite Fischer game is #3 against Spassky in Iceland, and that he had the nerve to play Nh5 as Black when down 2-0 in the match. Here are Bobby's top achievements. Of course we have had other memories of Fischer in the meantime.

A sad day. Nh5 was impressive, although even for that time perhaps not an entirely new idea. My favourite game of THE MATCH was the tenth. My favourite fischer game was his win against Stein (Sousse 1967). The next video gave me the chills http://www.chessvibes.com/personal/bobby-fischer-passed-away/langswitch_lang/en/

As an avid player, I have always admired Fischer's audacity. Without question, no player was ever so far beyond his contemporaries as Fischer was in the period 1967 to 1972.

64 would seem to be a fitting number for a guy who spent a lot of his life contemplating that many squares

A life on the rim is grim.
