This is a great article. The only thing I knew about Bobby Fisher was his incredible record and years of seclusion and possible insanity. All of that in a vague sense. Never bothered to look into it more. It's interesting to read about him becoming an Icelandic citizen and some detailed descriptions of moments of insanity.
It is sad that he has died. It is convenient that it was when he was 64.
