Dec-29-23 Bobby Fischer
| |
| savagerules: Fischer on the Dick Cavett Show said he ate a lot of tuna before tournaments or matches. He also, just like Elvis did, usually got up at early to mid afternoon and during the long nights listened to motown type of music or the Worldwide Church of God religious broadcasts ... |

| |

| |
| savagerules: A Fischer-like tournament result so far by Niemann with two rounds left. Safe to say he'll win this tournament. Wonder what Carlsen thinks about this performance? |
