Then I urge you too think beyond chess. - Think more globally. This guy has become dangerous for the very reason that people respect his chess, and then the week willed suggestive young too often listen to his other views. Anti-semitism and words of voilence must always be reacted too with discussion, even if it means giving up your love for the person, just because he once was a chess champion. His contribution to chess means nothing too me. (anymore). I would rather that Fischer was never a chess player in the first place, rather than him being what he is now. Conversly, I'd prefer he had been more like Kasparov. A controversial man to be sure, but not filled with hate, and still playing the best chess ever! mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
