Bobby Fischer Playing Chess Online?
from the sneaky dept
So, if you were one of best chess players ever, who spends all your time hidden away someplace no one knows, what would you do with your spare time? The internet has to be tempting. There's a theory going around that Bobby Fischer is playing chess online with other Grandmasters. This is all according to British Grandmaster Nigel Short, who is pretty sure he's playing Fischer, but not positive. What he does know for sure is that the guy beat him pretty soundly, and seemed to know a lot about subjects that Fischer would know about.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
