Did all 3 sisters play Fischer, or just you?
Wow Susan you played all the greats Symslov, Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, and Bobby!!!!! Can I have your autograph LOL! Seriously what was it like to play Bobby at Fischer Random and also more importantly what was it like studying games with him? I suspect the games you studied were regular chess games?
TFK ; )
I believe I read an interview where you said he and Kasparov were two of the greatest analyst you ever had the honour of going over games with. Thank you very much for sharing with us your chess experiences and for the great work you are doing to popularize chess with children and women/girls. Let us hope one day we will see the chess tournament hall 50/50 with both sexes present, it will double the amount of players in chess. Imagine the National Open like that :o).
I can only hope 🙂
Best wishes,

Susan I read when Bobby stayed at your families guest house in Hungary, that besides playing Fischer random he also challenged you and your sisters at table tennis. So how was Robert at ping pong, as tenacious as he was at chess? ; )
TFK
Yes, apparently he is
I’m reading the amazing book ,”BF goes to war” and someone who played him in ping pong said he was a relentless no holds barred player,very aggressive.
Susan, I’m assuming he was more respectul of women around you than the book makes him out to be?
Is it true that his biological father was a Hungarian?
I am a Bobby Fischer fan. I admit it. I am glad he has some freedom in Iceland.
Bobby is a very misunderstood person. I believe he never went around and hurt anyone. He just wanted to be left alone.
I have always believed that Karpov and the Russians conspired to take his title away from him. I believe they negotiated in such a way that they knewe Bobby would not agree to their terms and conditions. Bobby was the Champion. He had the right to put down terms and conditions not the challenger.
Just my opinion.
i met Mr. Fischer during his (secret) stay in germany in the early 90th last century – he gave some lessons of chess to local heroes, played some simultaneous matches – and in my remembrance – MR. FISCHER IS A POLITE, AN ORDINARY and HUMBLE PERSON. thus, no one should make him a mock …
he is one of the most famous, most talented and most inspiring chess players, the world has ever seen – and by the way – it was his idol, making me playing chess in the early 70th … (a fact of no relevance – without me ^^)-
so – please be polite with Robert J. Fischer (by the way – german spelling …^^)
greetz an kizz, Vohaul
