Bobby Fischer, the chess wizard

In the world of sports champions have fun, as Valentino Rossi, a not so nice as champions Fernando Alonso, champions angry with the press as Luis Aragones, business champions as Miguel Indurain, a champion players like Michael Jordan, to pimps like Jorge Lorenzo ... and I will get a champion that is difficult pigeonhole, as Bobby Fischer.

He learned to play the mental sport par excellence with the help of a game that his sister gave him when they lived in New York. Both challenged each other, but her sister was no longer a worthy rival for Bobby Fischer when he began to perfect their game. And is that at age 14 and became U.S. champion. A year later she would be crowned as Grand Master, being the youngest to achieve this distinction.

And so it was going and going until 1972, after winning 19 consecutive games, they could face for the world championship against Boris Spassky, Russian Soviet rule embodied in the chess world for 30 years. Special interest because this duel was fought in the Cold War, so to win the title was more important for both countries during those days. Despite losing the first two games, the final took the world title after 21 games, winning 7 and losing only 3. Spassky abandoned as Bobby Fischer, IQ higher than Albert Einstein great, slept peacefully in his room.

After this title began eccentricities, beginning with not wanting to play any official new game and refusing to regain the title three years later. There was to earn the money he wanted. "I'm an obnoxious individual. My ideals are chess and money. I want to be rich. Everyone wants to be, but nobody says. Is it sin? "Fischer said about it. But even worse was the fact for him to revive the game of the century that gave the world title in 1992 in Yugoslavia, banned by the U.S.. For playing this game in that country against the UN mandate, Bobby Fischer was facing 10 years in jail, unable to enter the country and being a refugee in Iceland.

In 2004 he was detained in Japan and almost sent to the United States, but ultimately none of that happened. His great rival, Boris Spassky, told George W. Bush, if locked up for that game Bobby Fischer in Yugoslavia metiera him him in the same cell, "albeit with a chessboard.

They could relive moments like the so-called best game of this duel of the century.
