Bobby Fischer Passes Away
Chess prodigy and formed world champion Bobby Fischer has passed away.
The recluse - who became an unlikely Cold War hero after defeating Soviet grandmaster Boris Spassky in 1972 - died in Reykjavik yesterday. He was 64.
Fischer - who was the subject of Searching for Bobby Fischer, a surprisingly great film about chess - actually renounced his U.S. citizenship later in life.
