  As a fan of Bobby Fischer the first story of him back in 1972 was amazing to watch

  Back at that particular time there was no American rated over 2600 USCF. Bobby Fischer’s USCF rating was 2825. He was in a class by himself.

  My dad taught me the basics of chess when I was about 10 in ‘72. I got bored after beating him in the first two games (or perhaps he allowed me to win; I’ll never know). I started playing chess again last year when I was 61 yet remembered most of the rules. I played a game against a guy who had an ELO of 1700 and lost after about six moves! How humbling. I’ve been playing daily since and my ELO is only 1050 but it’s such an amazing game that I believe it should be required teaching in schools. It truly engages the brain.

  Man was way ahead of his time. If you live by yourself, train yourself, do EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF, you will have NOBODY TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQZ4N2dRf0&amp;t=517">8:37</a> - “It looks like… taking your final exam.&quot; - Bobby Fischer <br>Definitely the most precise definition of playing rated chess I ever heard.

  The Franklin County story deserves to be made into a movie. &nbsp;Everyone loves a good underdog story. &nbsp;The teacher and silent partner are amazing to have given rural Mississippi children a chance at life.
