DJThat's very interesting, Barry. I struggled to be mediocre at Chess and therefore a few years ago, turned my efforts full time to defeat the less than brilliant college students at Hold'Em.
I used to go to Bobby Fischer's official site and I think I went there more for the shock value. Pages and pages of non-sensical rantings. But with the genuius mind comes "that kind of crazy".
He was also one of the toughest living signatures (at the time) to obtain, with only checks (which I have owned), a few FDC's and some of his owned books with his name on it in offered to the collecting public.
I'm not shocked, nor will I miss him. He was already gone, but never the less, every death is sad.
I will post the same phrase on the VBC Forum "official Britney Spears R.I.P" thread in the very near future.
