L’editoriale del Guardian sulla scomparsa di Bobby Fischer è imbarazzante. Molto meglio il WSJ:

For most of the second half of his life, Fischer considered himself the undefeated world champion of chess. That he had been stripped of his title in 1975 for refusing to defend it against challenger Anatoly Karpov, that he had not played in a competitive tournament since before he won the championship against Boris Spassky in 1972 — those were mere details. Or worse, they were merely evidence that the forces arrayed against him had succeeded in driving him from the game — because the only way to beat him, he believed, was to cheat, or to keep him from playing at all.
