Are we going to start letting SC dictate what can go in this forum? If so, I would like to propose that RIGHT NOW we start a WHO'S NOW tournament with Bobby as a #1 seed.

Some of the things this guy said can't be explained away with "he's misunderstood."

What about, "He's insane?" Could they be explained away with that phrase?

I spent 4-5 years studying chess and was really into it, playing thousands upon thousands of games online and reading lots of books.

You'd be surprsied what sort of messed up lives alot of the biggest names in chess led.

I'm not sure if their brilliance caused the crazy or if the crazy caused the brilliance.

there is supposed to be more insanity in chess than any other 'sport' or so I read someplace.

It's best to remember him as a chess prodigy instead of as a Jew hating, anti-American recluse.
