admiral_ju00 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Interesting. From the lack of responce, I take it that none of you guys play Chess or care about it's players, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Even if I did play chess "properly" I doubt I'd care. "Man in being detained shocker" is not that exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubermensch Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Yeah, I get you admiral. I remember watching "In Search of Bobby Fischer" or whatever that movie was called back in the day. When I was in middle-school. I had the same response as you when I read it on slashdot. I hope he's not so old his brain is fried and he can't escape again ;_; I don't want him to be captured.

Martin Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 So Fischer beat Spassky in 1972 then forfit the rematch in 1975 then beat Spassky again in 1992 (ten games to five) and announced in 1996 he's out of chess and prefers "Fisher random" where the chess pieces are arranged randomly at the start of the game---I guess you have to think more creatively that way and cant go on having memorized past games and chessbook analysis---who knows it could be fun and beautiful. Maverick. what if Mozart lived to 61 years old and was on the run for having played a sonata for Napoleon when he was a non-person exiled to St Helena island what if Michelangelo was on the run for refusing to finish the ceiling for the Pope? but it never happened, Mozart as we all know finished painting the ceiling under the popes orders and as we all know Michelangelo died young never dedicated a sonata to that monster Bonaparte. but Fischer insisted on going to Belgrade and kicking Spassky's butt. thereby earning the displeasure of the US state department. I didnt realize what an unpleasant person he is! Also the first 11 games were in a Montenegrin town of Sveti-Stefan, I guess on the coast. And then after one or the other won 5 games the plan was to move the match to Belgrade. So it was continued in Belgrade after game #11. Also Fischer, whose mother was jewish (which I guess makes him nominally jewish) speaks scathingly of Jews! Also he is reported to have said that the United States should be destroyed.

This is really a way to play? What exactly are the rules for setting up the peices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubermensch Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Couldn't help but notice your username... A Nietzsche fan are you??? An egoist. Which means, I like Nietzsche and Ayn Rand et al, but I'm a fan of me I think it's a shame that a man has to be chased around planet Earth because the US state department decided to be stupid in his general direction. Chasing Osama = good. Chasing Bobby Fischer = stupid. I can see why he doesn't like America very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavajoEverclear Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 There needs to be a new chess game. Not that i've got anywhere near mastering the old one, but i say its time for something with a new edge. Someone invent something really freaking amazing. RIGHT NOW.
