Bobby Fischer's final days
Por um escritor misterioso
Descrição
Today, ten years ago, one of the greatest chess players of all time, Robert James Fischer, passed away. He had spent three years in Iceland, two in relative comfort and harmony, but struck by horrendous illness at the end of 2007. He had one true friend who tended to him to the end: Gardar Sverrison, who eight years later wrote a remarkable book on the Fischer he knew and who became part of his family. Today, with Gardar's permission, we bring you very moving excerpts from the final section of his book.
On this day in 1972, Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spassky 12½-8½ in Reykjavík to become the 11th world chess champion. : r/chess
