Well aware.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

So what does an elite baseball player do in his spare time when he visits NYC?

The Fischer-Spassky Chess World Championship match occurred 50 years ago this month. The last game started on Aug 31, 1972, then was adjourned to the next day at which time Spassky conceded without resuming play. It was more that a chess match, it was perceived as the personification of the Cold War and accordingly received an enormous amount of publicity throughout the World.

 

That publicity was driven by the eccentric Bobby Fischer from Brooklyn. As a child, he taught himself chess at the age of 6. He quickly dominated US chess and became the US champion at the age of 14. But could he overthrow the Soviet Chess system which dominated the Chess World Championship?

 

The match lasted about one month and Fischer came from behind to achieve a convincing victory. Chess has never since reached that much public interest. Although the game is actively played throughout the world, it lies in the shadows waiting for the next "Bobby Fischer".

 

Google for more information.

Is anyone on here a regular player themselves? For context, I'm about mid-1200's on chess.com's Rapid so still pretty amateurish in my understanding of the game.

There is a lot of suspicion that this guy is a serial cheater both over-the-board and on-line. He of course denies it.
