| | Bobby Fischer's Pathetic Endgame |
| | Fischer was well aware that a high-stakes match pitting the game's strongest male player (in his own mind, anyway) against Judit Polgar, the game's strongest female player (now ranked in the top ten in the world), would interest the media. | | | Fischer argued that he was at a great disadvantage, because during a tournament he had to endure a grueling schedule of games while several anointed Soviet grand masters cruised from one victory to the next, conserving their strength for the real competition-which more often than not was Fischer himself in the finals. | | | Fischer stayed in Yugoslavia after the rematch, and began promoting what he called Fischer Random Chess--a tweaked version of shuffle chess, in which both players' back-row pieces are arranged according to the same random shuffle before play begins. |

| | The basis of the Fischer legend as a chess player (as opposed to a crackpot celebrity) are his results in the series of games that propelled him to the world championship match with Spassky. | | | Bobby Fischer in 1971: 'All I want to do, ever, is play chess.' Photograph: AP Bobby Fischer may just have played his most brilliant move. | | | Choosing not to play, saying he was bored by orthodox chess and developing a system called Fischer randomchess (in which the pieces are randomly distributed at the beginning of each game), only added lustre to the legend. |
