Former world chess champion Bobby-Fischer, considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, has died at the age of 64.
American-born Fischer was the US's first and only world chess champion, winning the title in the classic Cold War showdown against Russian Boris Spassky in 1972.
Fischer - the youngest international grandmaster ever at 15 - settled in Iceland in 2005 having been granted citizenship after eight months in detention in Japan.
