RIP - Bobby Fischer

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.

Allen Ginsberg's America

America
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.

America when will we end the human war?
