Generally about chess, but some specific parts about Bobby Fischer.
I went to chess club at school, and played chess with my dad from 7yrs-10yrs. (before video games).
It's intellectually challenging, and gives the brain some exercise.
In the 1970's we even had chess programmes on TV, which was better than snooker, because we only had a black and white TV.
I was reading about world chess champion Bobby Fischer recently. He once played 12 matches simultaneously, winning 10 and drawing 2.
His intellect must have been massive.
So why waste it on a board game ?
Fischer even wrote a Best Seller " My best 60 games of chess". How the fck can you remember all the moves from those games, and the decision-making process behind them ?
I realise most lower players, play for intellectual stimulation.
But at the very top, it's a bit like me having the dexterity to be a top-class neuro-surgeon, but opting to be a World Champion of 'Operation'.
thoughts ? does anyone care ?
Everyone still whacking off over the Townsend goal ? :D
