Bobby Fischer, World Chess Champion, Dead at 64

The only World Chess Champion from the United States, Bobby Fischer, died from complications of kidney failure in Iceland yesterday. Our very own IM Ken Regan has this to say: http://weblog.fortnow.com/2008/01/bobby-fischer-guest-post-by-ken-regan.html
An interesting video of comments from some of the current world's best is avaiable at: http://webcast.chessclub.com/Corus08/GOTD/Macauley.html

    It was definitly unexpected. A great chess player, one of the most talanted.
    I wondered would he still play some games with Kasparov (since he retired too), or with somebody else such as Korchnoj, Gligoric or Spaski again, in some exibition match, but that is but a dream.
