Fischer's talent has been shown as early as his childhood. He has an extraordinary desire to win, superb chess skills, and very technically accurate. Many records he set will probably never be broken. He became the American Chess Champion at the age of 14, and participated in the Qualifying Tournament of the King of Chess Challenge at the age of 16. Won the U.S. Chess Championship eight times, and once was a unique 11-game victory (1963/1964). In 1970, he won the inter-regional league with a big score. In 1971, he won two consecutive qualifying matches, for example, a clean 6:0. In the qualifying tiebreaker, he defeated the "Iron Chess Player" with a score of 6.5:2.5. "Petrosian. He set a record of 19 consecutive wins in the qualifying rounds. A year later, he had a final duel with Spassky in Reykjavík and won himself the title of world champion. This was the first time a chess player outside the Soviet Union won the title of chess king in post-war history.
The battle of Reykjavik was intense, intense and dramatic, and more attractive than a real drama. Fischer was worried about the "Rules of the Soviets" and did not want to participate in the competition. He even alerted the US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He personally called Fischer and asked him to fight for the country. The British chess tournament sponsor doubled the tournament funding and wrote to Fischer at the same time: “Well, wayward boy, you can play now. Let everyone see, you are not a coward!” Despite this An American guy was late, but in order for the game to be held normally, Spassky showed unbearable restraint, smoothness and nobility.
There was an accident at the start of the game. The first game reached the endgame, which was already a complete draw, but Fischer made a low-level mistake and lost a game first. Before the start of the second game, he was agitated because the camera was shooting at the chessboard table (protesting against poor game conditions is his hobby), so he did not appear in the second game. In the end the referee ruled that he abstained. The score was 0:2, and it seemed that the game was going to be broken again. After arduous negotiations, the game was finally able to continue. At Fischer’s insistence, the third game was played in a room behind the field. This room was used for table tennis matches, not a field suitable for the World Chess Championship; spectators could only enjoy the performance of their idols through cameras. . The psychological retreat caused Spassky to pay a heavy price. Fischer won the third game, seized the initiative, and kept the initiative until the final victory.
The victory in the Battle of Iceland brought the whole world to the feet of Fischer. He is young, rich, and likable, and he can completely turn chess into one of the most popular sports in the United States. All kinds of sponsorships, all kinds of invitations flooded to him... However, he only accepted interviews with two TV stations, and refused all other temptations. Soon afterwards everything returned to calm: Fischer had not played chess with a high-level professional chess player for 20 years. In 1975, because the FIDE failed to meet one of his many requirements, he refused to participate in the World Chess King Defending Tournament, thus losing the crown. Therefore, the challenger Karpov won without a fight, and Fischer has since disappeared.
Since then, there have been news in newspapers saying that Fischer is going to hold a chess king contest with a certain grand master (of course outside the framework of the FIDE, because he still thinks he fully enjoys the title of world champion). People have been expecting him to return to the chess arena, but the expectation has been in vain. Fischer has always been preparing to participate in the competition, but only after he has complete certainty...In 1992, when the chess world had been completely disappointed with this "California hermit", he finally found a suitable one. Opponent-this time still Spassky. The prize money of this reciprocal match broke all records-up to five million US dollars! However, the 5 million is not advertising expenses, but a Yugoslav banker with a somewhat suspicious reputation, Yezdimir Vasilevich, who was unknown in the chess world before the game (he was The boss of Yugoslavia’s largest “pyramid fundraising” ran away with investors’ money shortly after the game).
For Yugoslavia, who was tortured by civil war and UN sanctions at the time, the competition was not only a happy event, but also a miserable evening scene of Sangyu. Bobby Fischer, who has appeared in front of the world, is nearly fifty years old. He is already bearded and old-fashioned. The old opponent and friend Spassky sitting opposite him is already in semi-retired status and is in the chess rankings. Shang is in the state of the top one hundred. Spassky has been negligent in training for many years, and the sword is old. Only the occasional burst of inspiration in the game shows his strong chess power in the past. Fischer won the game, but he knew very well that this kind of game was not an honor for him, so let's retire completely.
However, the saddest thing is that during the retracement match, reporters from various media witnessed his sick psychology. It has long been rumored that Fischer is an anti-Semitism, and this time he made anti-Semitism remarks in the public. It can be seen that his fragile heart can no longer bear the burden of being away from the world of chess for a long time. This is the only world he has ever truly understood.
After the game, he returned to his home country and soon disappeared. He did not reappear until 2004, but in a more surprising place-the suspect detention center at Tokyo Narita International Airport. Fischer was detained for using an expired passport. Because he violated the US government ban, participated in Yugoslavia games and faced a fine of 250,000 US dollars and 10 years in prison, so he has not changed his passport. His name appeared in the hot news again. Eight months later, Japan expelled Fischer and Iceland accepted him. Fischer has won a brilliant victory in this country, and people there still love him. In any case, Fischer's contribution to the world chess movement is huge. The peak of his career was as short as a white horse passing a gap, but like Paul Morphy, he far surpassed contemporary chess players. His sensational victory and his personal extraordinary charm have attracted generations of young people. I was only nine years old when Fischer and Spassky were in the historical battle, and my friends and I were eagerly watching the progress of the game. Although Fischer defeated all the top Soviet masters, he has many admirers in the Soviet Union. We were not only surprised by his gorgeous chess style, but also admired his maverick and independence.
"On the chessboard or in life, Fischer's character always gives me a strong impression. He never compromises" (Spassky).
"Playing chess was once the only thing I wanted to do" (Fischer).
