Bobby Fischer is one of the greatest chess players that has ever lived. Despite the fact the many people considered him to have gone crazy, he is greatly misunderstood. Although no one should condone his anti-American and anti-Semitic statements many of the things that he said were taken out of context. Regardless of any of this Bobby Fischer will always be remembered as America's World Champion and one of the greatest chess players of all time.
Bobby was an individual that lived for chess. From the age of 6 when his sister bought a chess set from a candy shop below their apartment until he virtually dropped out of competitive chess and off the face of the Earth, he was completely obsessed with the game. With an IQ measured to be 187, within the top 0.000003% of the population or an IQ that appears in roughly 1 out of 36,927,646 people. This level of intelligence, especially the ability of spacial reasoning is almost certainly what contributed to his great chess play. You don't need to be a genius to play chess but it certainly helps.

At the age of 13 Bobby played a game against Donald Byrne dubbed "The Game of the Century". This game featured a brilliant queen sacrifice by Bobby that gave him tremendous compensation and he went on to win the game decisively. By this time Bobby was arguably the strongest chess player in the United States. He won 8 United States Championships and was widely considered to be one of the strongest chess players in the world before he even turned 18.
When Bobby was 16 he dropped out of high school to concentrate on chess. From this point on the trend of him becoming more and more reclusive and detached to the real world; the world to him was 64 checkered squares.
