Checkmate Bobby! [Fischer dies]

Bobby Fischer has met his final match:

Paranoia probably got the better of him. Rather ironic that he died at 64!

Re: Checkmate Bobby! [Fischer dies]

Hehe, took me a few secs. to figure it out, but yeah, dead at 64 seems very suitable/ironic for Bobby. That guy could play some serious chess, I've replayed matches where he'd sacrifice a queen for a better position on the board and proceed to trounce his opponent and win.... pure fookn genius.
