At that time, Fischer was interested in Fischer. That’s something that never really changed during his lifetime. He was very egocentric.
I was a firm supporter of the man until the 2001 U.S. bashing. That doesn’t stem from the fact that I’m an American. It’s because no nation be wiped out, as he wished the U.S. would be. There are good and bad people everywhere, and for him to wish destruction upon innocent people in order to satisfy an agenda against those he perceived as being guilty is flat out wrong.
Very interesting. Too bad he didn’t continue playing as he said.

Definitely not much in the humility department, is he?
A pity that his supreme talent couldn’t have been coupled to a more stable – and gracious – personality.
Remember him kindly, but man, it’s hard to overlook his faults and many of his comments.
