Seems like there were mistakes on all sides. Did he need help? yeah, but he also showed there is a fine line between genius & madness.

Greatest player ever? Yes. Man? gosh, let's admit it, he was a nut job,and not a very nice person. He sponged off people. Read the column in New in Chess. The best we can say is, he was mentally ill, severly.... But I choose to remember him for his chess, and yes, he was better than Kasparov and all others. he won 20 games in a row against grandmasters. Nobody before him did that, and nobody after him did that. His play was accurate, crisp, creative.

if fischer would have stayed active 72-75, he would have wiped the floor with karpov. Not too many people would dispute this. Of course, with fischer not playing for 3 years, just coming to a championship match would have been difficult for him. I think the optimum match would have been in 1978 or so. Fischer still would have won. The great question would be a match in 1985, Fischer vs Kasparov. That would have been like Frazier-Ali, 1971!

agreed. Also sad that people use his passing as a political soapbox. Was he perfect? No. Did he prove that there's a fine line between genius & insanity? Yes. Will he be replaced? Heck no.
