∙ 14y agoBobby Fischer, who was born on March 9, 1943, became America's only world chess champion in 1972, when he beat Boris Spassky for the title. When Anatoly Karpov challenged him in 1975, Fischer refused and his title was revoked. He went into a kind of seclusion, never playing for the championship again. In 1992, he played against Spassky in a private rematch. Fischer won the match and a 3.5-million purse. The match took place in Belgrade, violating US sanctions against Yugoslavia. Fischer chose to live abroad as a fugitive and was eventually granted citizenship by Iceland, where he made his home for the final years of his life.
