Bobby Fischer, everyone accepts, was crazy. As this article concedes that is the most charitable explanation for his repugnant behavior, however, at the chess board he was a player of principle and a creator of masterpieces of unerring truth and beauty.
It is for that latter he will be remembered, even in America, where he might, in time, even achieve forgiveness.
