   Bobby Fischer is the legendary American Chess genius that the USA has ever seen. He was, is and ever will be the chess champion of the world. The world has lost one of the greatest chess players we have ever seen but his chess games will always be there for us to enjoy, replay and make a post mortem analysis. As a parting word, I recall that most Americans would prefer to call him in his younger days as the “enfant terrible”.
