Bobby Fischer Loses Final Game

Chess prodigy, Icelandic citizen, anti-Semite (and half-Jew) Bobby Fischer has passed away. To reminisce about his epic showdown with Soviet Boris Spassky, check out the wikipedia entry on Chess: The Musical, which was loosely based on that epic Cold War battle in 1972.

Actually, while Fischer had long maintained his father was a German mathemitician, there is strong evidence to suggest that his biological father was actually a Hungarian Jewish scientist.
