The boy learnt chess on a $1 chess set using the instructions from a set bought at a candy store. He goes on to become the World Champion and then fell off to obscurity. He dropped out of school yet learnt several foreign languages so he could read foreign chess periodicals. His IQ is said to be around 187, and for him, chess was life.

☞ VOCÊ SABIA que, se estivesse vivo, Bobby Fischer completaria hoje 76 anos?
⠀
✔️ Ele aprendeu a jogar xadrez aos 6 anos de idade; aos 13 foi protagonista daquela que é conhecida como a “partida do século”, ganhando de Donald Byrne; aos 14 venceu o 1º dos seus 8 títulos de campeão absoluto norte-americano; e aos 15 se tornou o mais novo Grande Mestre da história até então.
⠀
✔️ O fato mais marcante da sua carreira foi a disputa do “Match do Século” contra Boris Spassky, em 1972, quando sagrou-se campeão mundial. Em 1974 ele encerrou a sua carreira ao abdicar do título, não aceitando a disputa contra o desafiante Anatoly Karpov. E, em 1992, promoveu uma revanche tardia, vencendo Spassky.
⠀
✔️ A sua trajetória foi marcada por polêmicas e por sua personalidade excêntrica, mas também por sua genialidade nos tabuleiros, deixando um legado incontestável para a presente e para as futuras gerações. É por tais fatos que Fischer é considerado por muitos o melhor enxadrista de todos os tempos.

Boris Spassky ⚫️
⠀
The tenth World Chess Champion, holding the title from 1969 to 1972.
⠀
Spassky was born on January 30, 1937 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) to Russian parents.
⠀
Spassky learned to play chess at the age of 5 on a train evacuating from Leningrad during the siege of Leningrad in World War II. ⬛️
He first drew wide attention in 1947 at age 10, when he defeated Soviet champion Mikhail Botvinnik in a simultaneous exhibition in Leningrad.
⠀
Spassky qualified for the 1956 Candidates' Tournament, held in Amsterdam, automatically gaining the grandmaster title, and was then the youngest to hold the title.
⠀
He defeated World Champion Tigran Petrosian in 1969 And then lost to Bobby Fischer in a famous match in 1972 in Reykjavík, Iceland. It was called "Match of the Century," the competition seemingly took on greater meaning with its participants representing both sides of the Cold War.
⠀
He applauded Fischer in Game 6 of their 1972 match and defended Fischer when the latter was detained near Narita Airport in 2004.
⠀
Spassky emigrated to France in 1976, becoming a French citizen in 1978. He continued to compete in tournaments but was no longer a major contender for the world title. He had a stroke in 2010. In 2012 he left France and returned to Russia
⠀
Spassky was considered an all-rounder on the chess board, and his adaptable "universal style" was a distinct advantage in beating many top grandmasters♟
⠀
He is the oldest living former world champion in 2 weeks he’ll become 82 ✨
