The sports news pages on both sides of the Atlantic and numerous spots in between have been eulogising chess 'genius' Bobby Fischer, who dropped dead earlier today of kidney failure. The famous grandmaster who defeated the Soviet Unions finest Chess minds is dead, and countless column inches have been dedicated to his achievements and his passing. What is reduced to a throwaway line, or even glossed over entirely, are his ludicrous, hateful political views which he was only too happy to spout whenever interviewed. His belief that he was the victim of an international Jewish conspiracy against him would be laughable were it not for his sincere desire for hundreds of thousands of "dirty, hook-nosed" Jews to be executed, all synagogues to be forcefully closed, and his deeply held and widely spoken denial of Ha-Shoah, the holocaust of the Jews.
So a bigoted idiot who was once quite good at moving little pieces of wood around a board is dead. Good. Ironically, it's only my convictions keeping me from wishing he went slowly and painfully. Good riddance you rediculous anti-semite.
