The Inevitable Search

So, they found him, Mr. Bobby Fischer. What can I say, I really liked the flick about him, and I also respect the fact that he was a grand master champ at 15. However, he was also raised almost solely on chess, the ideas, the strategy, and the gridiron will it takes to make it to the top.

He's like the test tube baby that never was. It reminds me of that scene in Species (stay with me here), where they didn't talk or touch the little girl who grew up to be a monster. They were so cold that they transferred that lack of compassion directly to her. Bobby Fischer was brought into a world of moves and timers and tournaments, and he adapted as such. He got the gridiron will, he got the unblinking ferocity, and he got the gold. But did that make him a better person?

I don't know. I do know he's an anti-semite who praised the 9/11 attacks. Ignorant, foolish people are born every day.

Others are simply taught that way. What a shame.
