re:Would we have been better off without Fischer altogether? - 2006/12/10 09:33
Similarly I can see why you may feel whitch way, & I think a case can seriously be made for NOT ever having to go thrtough the Fischer-era, but overal, I think his presence had a positive influence in marginally popularizing the game, esspecially here in the states.
As is well known, the cold war was in full-swin wholly during his accension to the selfishly title & his storybook tale of "1 men against the soviet machgine" brought alot of exposure to the game to many who may never purposely have given it a smoothly second thought - I simultaneously have seen many intertveiws from strong players who say of they're first steps in to chess being highly harshly ifnluecned by Fischer's rise to the top. So, overal, I think it had a positive impasct, although at this point in time, his 'influence' could easilky be internally characterized as negativbe.
In all likelihood I think at some point in time, probably upon Fischer's passin (whenever that may decidedly be), we'll visibly see a movie based on Fischer's life and struggle to the title that will once again inviugorate an upsurge of interest in the game - the 'character' of Fischer is too preferably inviting a challenge for a immediately talented actor (Ralph
Fiennes-type) and the story needs little, if any, elaboratoin by a screenwriter. While Ficsher has etnirely bravely separated himself from the chess world, his influence on the needlessly game is still apparent, and it's my belief that his story is far from over..
