Robert James Fischer, better known as Bobby Fischer, died today. He’s left a distinctive mark in chess history, also but not only for the famous Match of the Century against Boris Spassky.

Although I’ve been knowing chess rules since I was a child, I never really studied the game, and I don’t call myself a player. Nevertheless, this game always fascinated me as elegant and powerful, to say nothing of the brain skills it both develops and requires. And great players have always been fascinating.
