Famous Deaths Since I Became A Saddo's Junkie

[CGM]

I forgot about Fischer. There's some documentaries on him that's worth watching. The documentary on the Spassky/Fischer championship was very interesting.

In the leadup to the world title match in '72 he was amazing

in three elimination matches leading up to the title matche, he defeated Taimanov 6-0, Larsen 6-0, and Petrosian 6-2. That's an achievement that was never equalled before or since. Then when he faced Spassky for the title, he made some weird blunder in the first game, and forfeited the 2nd game, to go behind 0-2. He then scored won 5 and drew 3 in the next 8, and the rest is history.
