Robert James "Bobby" Fischer (March 9, 1943 - January 17, 2008) was an Us chess person and the eleventh World Chess Champion. He is widely careful one of the most chess gamers of all time. Fischer was also a best-selling chess author. After end his competitive career, he proposed a new variant of chess and a customized chess timing system. Both thoughts have conventional some hold in recent years.
Widely careful a "chess legend" at age 13 Fischer won a “brilliancy” so as to grew to becomte identified as The Game of the Century. Starting at age 14, he played in eight Us Championships, winning each by at least a point. At , he were to become both the youngest grandmaster and the youngest Contender for the World Contest up until so as to time. He won the 1963-64 U.S. Championship 11-0, the only ideal score in the history of the tournament. In the early 1970s he grew to becomte the most dominant person in modern history - winning the 1970 Interzonal by a record point margin and winning 20 consecutive games, counting two unprecedented 6-0 sweeps in the Candidates Matches. İn respect to investigate by Jeff Sonas, in 1971 Fischer had separated himself from the rest of the world by a larger margin of live skill than any person since the 1870s He were to become the first official World Chess Coalition (Fédération Internationale des Échecs) (FIDE) number one rated chess player in July 1971, and his 54 total months at number one is the third best of all time.
In 1972, he captured the World Contest from Boris Spassky of the USSR in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland to was widely publicized as a Cold War confrontation. The match attracted more worldwide interest than any chess match before or since. In 1975, Fischer declined to defend his title when he could not come to agreement with FIDE over the conditions for the match. He turned more cloistered and did not play aggressive chess again until 1992, when he won an unofficial rematch against Spassky. This competition was held in Yugoslavia, which was then under a United Nations restriction. This led to a conflict with the U.S. management, and Fischer never came back  to his native country.

In his later years, Fischer lived in Hungary, Germany, the Philippines, Japan, and Iceland. Through this time he made increasingly anti-United states and antisemitic statements, despite his Jewish ancestry. After his U.S. passport was revoked over the Yugoslavia sanctions issue, he was detained by Japanese powers that be for nine months in 2004 and 2005 under threat of banishment. In February 2005, Iceland settled him right of residence as a "stateless" alien and issued him a passport. When Japan refused to release him to Iceland on that basis, Iceland's parliament voted in March 2005 to give him full citizenship. The Japanese authorities then free him to that country, where he lived until his death in 2008.
