Dziś przypada 13 rocznica śmierci Bobby Fischera
THIS DAY IN CHESS HISTORY: It was a sad Thursday on January 17, 2008 when the 11th World Chess Champion Robert James Fischer succumbed to lingering degenerative kidney failure and died at Landspítali Hospital- National University Hospital of Iceland in Rekyjavik. Bobby Fischer at age 14, he became the youngest ever U.S. Chess Champion, and at 15, he became both the youngest grandmaster (GM) up to that time and the youngest candidate for the World Championship. In 1972 Fischer dethroned Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and became the eleventh world chess champion in that contoversial match held in Reykjavik, Iceland. Bobby's significant contributions in and outside chess and brilliant games continue to live on. He was 64 years old.
