Bobby Fischer, the greatest American chess player since Paul Morphy, has died in Iceland.

When he beat the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky to become the World Champion in 1972, he beat the USSR at their own game.

He was also a SERIOUS weirdo in this latter years and alienated many people here in the U.S. by broadcasting anti-Semitic diatribes and expressing support for the September 11th attacks in New York.

R.I.P. to a truely great chess player.
