the kitty's gambit
it’s so annoying seeing "alpha" dudebros on tiktok claim that "chess made bobby fischer crazy!!! he studied 900000 hours which no human should" like yes, it’s pretty clear he was dealing with some internal stuff (autism, paranoid personality disorder, schizophrenia, or whatever else) but chess seems like it was actually one of the only thing keeping him grounded instead of what made him crazy
Tigran Petrosian and Bobby Fischer playing the match at Round 2, 1970 World Team vs USSR Chess Tournament, Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
Do you ever remember that Bobby Fischer did absolutely talk like that
