Bobby Watch
Looking a bit like Jimmy Buffet picking up after a Smiths' show, Bobby Fischer arrived in Iceland blah blah blah...
If any Fischer lovers out there happen to read this blog, please please please let me know why you care so much about him. Don't you think he should be wasting away in a Japanese prison awaiting extradition?
I don't know. I guess with the Penis Museum moved out of town, visitors to Reykjavik need some other oddity to gawk at--not that you'll probably be seeing much of the world's most famous chess-playing fugitive recluse. He'll be busy searching every corner of his apartment for Soviet-planted listening and thought-control devices and reading newspapers looking for coded messages planted by those involved in the world-wide plot against him.
But, Bobby, if you are reading this, let's go: 1) Nf3.
Bring it on, babee!!

I think it's ironic that he can't be vocal in his anti-semite rants now without falling foul of anti-hate-speech laws in place in Iceland, and can't travel abroad because now there is an international arrest order against him.

Why are you so worked up about Fischer. The man is a paranoid loon, sure, but in my books that means he should be treated as kindly as other people with mental health problems. (Hopefully Iceland's institutions are better than the one described in Angels of the Universe.)
I don't see what good it would do locking up every lunatic who thinks they're Adolf Hitler - and I've seen no evidence that Fischer is actually a threat to anyone.

Hi Hildigunnur,
Thanks for visiting my blog. I just saw an "Entertainment News" story about Bobby Fischer in Iceland and, of course, he looked like the nut that he is.
I know that the average Icelander must've wondered what the government was thinking to let him in...
