Bobby Fischer's final manoeuvre.
The fight over what the greatest chess player ever left behind.

"Searching for Bobby Fischer" has been sitting in its Netflix envelope beside my TV for the last three weeks. Are you from Netflix? Are you saying I should either watch it or return it? (I should watch it.) Awesome article, thanks. The take-away lesson being - as bernockle will tell you - everyone should have a will. EVERYONE. Probate fights are uuuuuugly even if you aren't famous.

Yes, the truth is out, I am from Netflix. WATCH THE FRICKIN' MOVIE ALREADY! THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WAITING FOR IT, YOU SELFISH B*ST*RD!

Ugh! What a mess! Incidentally, Boris Spassky visited Bobby's grave and shed a tear. Interesting how the two archetype, hyper-polarized Cold Warriors ended up being friends. It points to the artificiality of war/conflict and how most wars are just power struggles between ruling classes. Most normal people just want a job, to raise their kids in safety and would much prefer having a beer with their neighbors than killing them.

A nice read. Thanks for posting it. A mess indeed...

Everyone should have a will.

Where there's a will, there's a way to a will? Thanks for the reminder, nock.
