How ironic that the variation of chess called "Fischer Random Chess" has not one
example of a game played (publicly at least) by the "author".  Just an
observation.

By the way, someone estimated Fischer's strength now at 2640-2680, or something
like that.  When Fischer played Spassky, his performance rating was around the
LOW end of that range, and that was 12 years ago, with no play since.  I agree
with another poster that his real strength now, especially considering his lack
of current knowledge and practice, is probably closer to 2500.  No where near
the top 100.
