BCA - Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer (1972-1975)
Considered by many the best chess player of all time, Fischer is a recognized name to this day even after his death at the age of 64. He faced the whole Soviet school by himself, and managed to beat them all. Possessing an IQ comparable to Einstein’s and an unparalleled love for chess, Bobby unfortunately did not want to defend his title against Karpov, so he practically abandoned chess after becoming the world champion. His life was full of controversy, and he was slowly losing his sanity and discernment, but some of his achievements on the chessboard remain unparalleled until today. He is GM Rafael Leitão’s favorite chess player.
