Bobby Fischer's True History

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech

“What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.

To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --

After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.

One of many wrongs perpetrated against Bobby Fischer during the 1972 tournament in the hostile Anti-American, Pro-Soviet, Racist Iceland… political leverage is WHY the Soviet Union forced selection of the notoriously Anti-American Iceland!

The Chaotic Life of Bobby Fischer
Bobby Fischer was not “crazy” as alleged by his critics in the Soviet Russian Empire and the U.S./British/Israeli military/colonial alliance. He was caught in the downward spiral of a world filled with chaos created by evil men.

Ron Gross Caught Fabricating Bobby Fischer's Youth Narrative

Not New York.
Not Brooklyn.
Not in the same league.
Not “close friends” with Robert Fischer.

“…Fischer told a reporter that the story that he had sold Life magazine an exclusive interview during the match with Spassky was ‘a dirty lie.’” ‘I was busy,’ he said. ‘If I'd given an interview to every body that asked, I'd have lost the match.’” New York Times, 9/23/1972
