Please, for your own good, DO NOT listen to Fischer's insane ranting. It is deeply unsettling and if you loved Fischer's chess, the audio interviews will leave you troubled and depressed for several days. And Angry too! I realized I became very angry at actually hearing this lunatic. Before that a part of my mind could always pretend that this maniac was not the Fischer that was responsible for me taking up chess in the first place. It's a lot like living with the fact that a lunatic killed John Lennon. Maybe the most suberb poet/artist/musician of our time. But now when I listen to a Beatle's or John Lennon song I don't hear the same song that I did before this terrible thing happened. And now, I can't play over a Fischer chess game with the same enthusiam either - So very sad... mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
