CHESS Bread & Circuses !!6ADKivPLH1r
In honour of Bobby Fischer who passed away today, I think we should have a HR chess thread.

If anyone has any hr pics of famous positions, or even of a plain (2d) board from above, Anon would appreciate it. That would make a good poster.

The black-robed skeleton suddenly standing before me made no motion at first... but then, appearing to have either made a choice or thought of something, he stepped forward, placed one skeletal hand on my shoulder and said, not unkindly:

"CHECKMATE."

Why the hell would anyone want to honor that insane racist fuck? Bobby Fischer's dead and the world is a better place for it.

the man was one of the greatest chess players of all time.

that he was anti-semitic takes nothing away from his chess.

and even then who cares if he was anti-semitic? its not like he was violent or actually did anything with it. all he would do is ramble on about a jewish conspiracy. who cares, really. that has nothing to do with his chess.

when i see maradona take on the england team to score probably the greatest goal of all time in the 1986 world cup semi final, i dont see the obese cocaine ravaged man he would become.

Let not a man's misdeeds taint his accomplishments, for they're forever seperate. Nothing will ever change the fact that he was a chess genius, and equally nothing will change the fact that he was an antisemite. Admire the man for what he was and pity him for what he became.

But I had hardly entered the room where the masters were playing when I was seized with what may justly be described as a mystical experience. I seemed to be looking on at the tournament from outside myself. I saw the masters — one, shabby, snuffy and blear-eyed; another, in badly fitting would-be respectable shoddy; a third, a mere parody of humanity, and so on for the rest. These were the people to whose ranks I was seeking admission. "There, but for the grace of God, goes Aleister Crowley", I exclaimed to myself with disgust, and there and then I registered a vow never to play another serious game of chess. I perceived with preternatural lucidity that I had not alighted on this planet with the object of playing chess.

Except chess was the only thing he succeeded at and failed as a human being. Nothing of value was lost.

"nothing of value was lost". what are you, a wannabe nazi?

That, and smoking crack off of Argentine ass. As for which he excelled at most? Your call.

At any rate, Fischer's politics blew the requisite cock while he languished in Japan and then died despondent and broken in Europe. He could've held onto some modicum of stature like Kasparov did (who is now in police captivity for his power bid against Putin), but he didn't.

AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST.
