Here’s a slightly sad if edifying tale of the small distance between genius and madness – apparently Bobby Fischer/Fisher has been doing radio shows for some time now, broadcasting a series rather disturbed anti-Semitic and anti-American diatribes from the Phillipines. Personally, I didn’t know much about the man, having never really got into chess (and here I know Shay is gasping in horror), but it seems that here is someone whose talent in chess is without peer, but whose serious deficits in other areas have stopped him being able to use his talents.
