Re: Who is Bobby Fischer? (Score 1)

If the original poster meant "match" that doesn't make a lot of sense because in 60's the majority of chess activity was on tournaments, NOT matches. There use to be only a final match to decide who will face the current champion (if I remember correctly). Beofore 3 matches Fischer won for the 1972 title (Taymanov, Larsen, Petrossyan) he either played no offical matches, or if he did, he lost them.

Anyway, Fischer won a lot of games and a number of tournaments but he DIDN't WIN every game nor
every tournament. And before sometime in late 60's he was just ONE of many good players...
