After a month and a half of King Bobby Fischer's death, articles are still written about him. In Malaysia, chess players still see the King as a mighty one.
Well, why not? Is there a written law that says when one dies, he should never be seen in a better light? Fact is, when people die, great or vain, they are remembered best for the things they have done while alive... All the more for GM Robert Fischer, he is an Icon of Chess.
During his time, Bobby made big waves in the land of chess because he became the youngest grandmaster and that record stood for more than 3 decades. He is the American during the cold war to have beaten the Russians face to face. So he should be put on the pedestal and be seen and remembered thru his works.
Going back to record-breaking feats in chess, Nicholas Nip became the youngest master ever in US of A. Anyone wants to talk about Endgame Theory? When I received this Google chess alert with the title Remainder is just a matter of technique, endgame technique came to my mind. Who wouldn't?
