Good bye Bobby. You were the strongest player the world had ever known.
I love you Bobby. Yuriy
Bobby was basically a tragic figure, but he was the greatest player ever to have walked this earth. We will always love him and remeber him with forgiveness. May he rest in peace.
As an avid chess fan I attended the 1972 Championship match in Iceland. Fischer when he finally showed up was simply devastating . Spassky crumbled and it seemed to be the end of the Soviet dominance. Chess suddenly became chic .However my lasting memory will be his all consuming antisemitism. His madness was no excuse .
I didn't like him in his latter years, but he meant so much to me that I can't even express it in words. Truly, a modern legend.
I was seventeen when Bobby played against Spassky. You have to be there -- during the "cold war" -- to really appreciate the 'American underdog" Bobby Fischer. Life is eternal! . . . just put the pieces back on the board. After all, it'll be a better place, Bobby.
He was everything in life I wanted to be!!! I will always love you Bobby Fischer, till the end of time.

He did more than any one else to popularise the game, especially through his match with Spassky in 1972. He had just found sanctuary in Iceland after many years on the run from the US Government. He was probably the greatest player of all time during his peak time. His death is a great loss to the chess world. May his soul rest in peace.
It does not matter what Bobby did or did not do in later life. Single handedly he beat the corrupt soviet chess machine. He was the greatest chess player who ever lived. His name will be remembered for that. he gave the chess world freedom.
RIP o great one!!! Sad chess player.
You were crazy and wasted your talents and life.

He was a Inspiration for all of us. We learned much from him........ By Aucilla Christian Academy Chess Club.
Like many I got into chess in 1972 due to Fischer. Nobody ever played the game with as much clarity and simplicity as he did. He was the greatest player ever but the true tragedy are all the unplayed games after 1972.It is still a great joy to play over his games.
64 years...............64 squares God had sent him here to play chess !!
I allzo fot vat billy fisher was a caraty kingi in my hart!
Bobby Fischer wus so goodly vat i fot he mite b mey frends!
64 years old! That's one year for every square of the chess board. You were an amazing person who lived an extraordinary, and tumultuous life. You won't be forgotten. You were an inspiration to so many young chess players. God bless you Bobby.
A part of my youth died yesterday, Bobby Fischer, 64. Yes I know he was un-American and probably has been technically crazy for years, But. I have strong memories of his match long ago. He brought sanity to a crazy world of war. I remember getting up each afternoon and going to get "The Stars and Stripes" to see the match results. Everyone talked about chess. I have a strong memory of two guys sitting on the wall of a bunker dressed in jungle fatigues. M-16s at their sides playing over a game from the paper. Hopefully he is now rid of the demons whom seemed to have controlled his life.
Absolute LEGEND has passed away but lets hope he can talk his way past St Peter if one recalls the vitreol he spat out on a regular basis. Ian R
Legend and brilliant mind rest now Bobby
Truly the greatest chess player.I will miss him.
Every chess player in the world, from seasoned professional to adolescent woodpusher owes an enormous debt of gratitutde to Fischer. His influences and games will be eternally relevant to the game of chess at all levels. Rest in peace on the 65th square, Bobby.
the greatest. What a loss.
His brilliance extend well beyond the chess table, and his sense of fairplay will never be forgotten.
I never met Bobby Fischer. But replaying his games has given me countless hours of joy, and I can compare his playing style to a beautiful work of art.
Bobby Fischer was an exceptional, he should be excused from follies because his infamous statements were incontestably true.B.SANTOS of ANTIPOLO CITY, Philippines
Let's face it - Bobby Fischer - a brilliant chess master - was weird.
Mr. Fischer was an inspiration to many young people who learned that they could be good at something and proud of themselves for it, no matter what their peers thought of it.
Do you know the irony of this sad tale? Bobby Fischer died at the age of 64; the number of squares on the chessboard!
I will remember him as a brilliant chess mind who had influences much like that of Newton; for his impact on World History RIP Bobby....
Bobby Fischer brought chess to world recognition. A sad day RIP Bobby
Good bye teacher. Have a pleasant way to heaven. Thank you for the magic of your mind. You will be the leader for all of us.
Forget his private life, Bobby's chess games were as inspirational as Mozart, taken too soon and the whole Chess world will be sad. RIP Bobby
I will always remember when a young, defiant Bobby went to Iceland, took on the Russian Chess Establishment, and walked away as the World Champion. I will always remember his smile and his brilliant play. May his soul rest in peace.
I will always cherish the year we spent together when you won the US Jr., US Open and U S Championship. As a young guy, you were the greatest! Pity you had to drop out so early from the greatest game of all!
...May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest...Oh captian, My captian.
Bobby Fischer put chess on the map in the USA. Unlike the previous methodical champions, Fisher took risks and experimented with unconventional defenses; his daring play created an aura of excitement; who can forget his Queen Sacrifice against Spasky. RIP Champ
You memory will always live on through your spirit! Your brillance is everlasting!
you played like any on. tkamk you by your´s game.
The world of Chess was forever changed by Bobby. I did not agree with his politics, but his Chess was and will forever be at the top. A true Genius of the game.
