Another hero, just like Sir Edmund Hillary. Bobby Fisher was a great person, the top class chess player of all times, and...helped bring down the halo of "super chess players" from the Evil Empire.
THAT YOU MAY REST PEACEFULLY BOBBY FISHER, WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU!

He may have been a great chess player, but calling him a hero may be stretching it. He was an anti-semite, publicly applauded 9/11, and renounced his U.S. citizenship.

rest in peace
