pepe333 18-Jan-08, 04:23	Bye Bobby Its a great loss for the world of chess, if I could control the gameknot site, i'll closed for 1 hour or 1 day even, in sign of mourning. 1 Alien less in this world...  ByeBye Bobbie, try to beat God in chess over a cloud & thanks for the free lessons of chess.

changeling 18-Jan-08, 06:29	RIP The world loses another unbelievable mind. Maybe another one more born somewhere! RIP Mr. Fischer
baronderkilt 18-Jan-08, 06:36	For more on this; GK chess forum mainthread too ... gameknot.com
qiwi 18-Jan-08, 12:51	A sad loss but at least his magnificent games are still with us to play over and admire....
captaingoodvibes 18-Jan-08, 13:52	as an aside what would be a good net resource to play over some of his games?
baronderkilt 18-Jan-08, 14:29	markallen I usually use the databases of either: chessgames.com Which is nice in that it has a number for each game and is easy to hyperlink to from outside, if you are posting to forums here or such, but for some reason I cannot get my "COPY" mode to work there for copying of game moves to paste, etc. It will also let you search by single player name + opening desired. OR- chesslab.com (lab not labs, or it goes to a different site) This one does not have numbered games and so I've found it hard or not possible to hyperlink into the site direct to a certain game. But it will do "COPY" of the moves, so easier to bring to here for Annotation Game etc. However, there is also an official Bobby Fischer website as well. I have seen it, but do not recall the actual name/URL. Can someone tell us that? Thanks if so.
captaingoodvibes 18-Jan-08, 14:38	thanks craig .....would anyone care to point me to some favorite games of bobbys?
baronderkilt 18-Jan-08, 14:43	markallen I found a link to an 'only site with the approval of RJF' url ... which right off warns 'not to be deceived!' by four other sites they claim to be impostors. (Poor guy, some are still trying to use him even now. The Jimi Hendrix of chess I guess) Anyway, here is the link for the one that claims it is the real one. At least if it is not, it shows 4 others to try! Sorry I cannot recall who might be Real or not. It says it has a long and a short address. So here's both. fischer.jp or home.att.ne.jp fischer.jp or home.att.ne.jp/moon/fischer/
saintinsanity 18-Jan-08, 16:23	Wow It's a sad day. At least now he finally has his answers.
captaingoodvibes 18-Jan-08, 23:08	can anyone help me understand this: www.chessgames.com Move 17 Fischers black bishop is exposed Move 18 he moves his knight and opponent Harris doesnt take said bishop. BTW Craig thanks for the pointer to this resource......FANTASTIC!
itchynscratchy 19-Jan-08, 07:29	If 18...Nxf4 then Fischer plays 19 Rxd7 which leaves his rook in a powerful position on the 7th rank
captaingoodvibes 19-Jan-08, 14:35	thanks scratchy with a prompt and a second look it becomes totally clear
saintinsanity 20-Jan-08, 03:29	I just learned on a yahoo chat room. That the Jews killed Fischer. To be specific, it was the Rothschilds.
illinawek 20-Jan-08, 12:41	Bobby Fischer's father and mother were Jewish.
