Bobby Fischer: The Mystical Chess Genius

Introduction

Bobby Fischer is perhaps the most intriguing and enigmatic figure in the annals of chess. His meteoric rise, unrivaled brilliance, and subsequent years of scandal make a tale as compelling as any to have been recorded in the pages of competitive mental prowess. From his prodigal childhood through his 1972 historic World Championship victory and ensuing self-imposed exile, Fischer's life was marked by brilliance, obsession, and mercurialness.

Early Life and Chess Exposure

Robert James Fischer was born on March 9, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois. His parents, Regina Wender Fischer and Hans-Gerhardt Fischer, had separated early in the life of Bobby, and Regina brought up Bobby and his sister Joan alone. Joan bought Fischer a chess set at age six without realizing that she was opening a door that would lead to one of the greatest chess careers in history.
