"I suspect that if you found out that the "Enron Games" had been held in Yugoslavia at the same time, you would be much more interested in seeing a prosecution."

You'd be wrong. I have much less respect for Bobby Fischer, who has an advanced and incurable case of David Sklanskyitis, than I have for Ken Lay.

Maybe Sklansky has an advanced and incurable case of Bobby Fischeritis?

I'm not sure, but didn't he also not pay millions of dollars of income taxes?

With that being said I finally feel secure. Sure terrorists have threatened us again and plan on killing some politicians (which to me is no big deal since they are a dime a dozen) but we have finally nabbed BOBBY FISCHER!! It is a great time to be an American indeed!

I don't think it is quite as simple as you make it out to be.

Fischer was hindering Clinton's ability to make foreign policy in a region where we eventually went to war, and Americans died as a result thereof.

The US made a reasonable law, and not only did Fischer violate it, but he violated it willfully and very publicly.

At least David doesn't suffer from a severe case of paranoia and borderline insanity.

actually...George Bush was the president when this happened...not Clinton.

the match was in the summer of 92 i believe.
clinton won the presidency in November of 92 and wasn't inaugurated until Jan of 93.



btw....i saw the same video on CNN-headline....and overhead shot of the match, followed by a close-up of Spassky (the one without the bears), followed by a high overhead again of the match.
no close-up at all of Fischer.



side thought - does anyone else hope that somehow this leads to Fischer getting some help??
with the proper medication maybe his paranoia can be curbed (ala John Nash maybe) and perhaps he could even find his way back to the chess-board.

i think that any lawyer assigned to defend him on any criminal charges could try to justify a psych-consult on the guy to determine if an insanity plea is in order.
yes, i know, i've been watching too many Law and Order re-runs on TNT.....but isn't this possible??


somebody observed previously that Fischer's story has many similarities to John Nash...except without the happy ending.
i would like to point out that Fischer's story is not necessarily concluded and there may still be time for a happier ending. call me a goofy optimist.

Microbob, you're a goofy optimist.
