@hyper_chess: Bobby Fischer did not hate chess as a game per se, but rather the commercialization, politics, and theoretical stagnation that surrounded modern chess during his time. Although recognized as one of the greatest chess players in history, he felt that top-level chess had become "dead" due to the excessive focus on opening memorization (theory) and collusion, rather than creativity and original thinking. After winning the 1972 World Championship, Fischer's mental health deteriorated and he became increasingly paranoid, which also contributed to his refusal to return to regular competition. #chess #chesstok #chessmaster #chessman #bobbyfischer
