Bobby Fischer, international chess champion, has died. Bobby Fischer was also considered a Cold War icon and an eccentric. This famous anti-establishmentarian passed away in Iceland (he renounced his U.S. citizenship years ago) at the rather young age of 64. The cause of his death is unknown.
There was a book that came out a few years ago called Bobby Fischer Goes to War. It is an historical examination of the infamous 1972 chess match between Fischer and then world champion Boris Spassky. It is on my list of books to read.
