Talk:Bobby Fischer
From Wikiquote
Though Fischer's anti-semitism is well attested to, and I do not greatly doubt he would make such a remark as this article began with, I think strongly derogatory comments attributed to anyone about anyone should be provided with a source, or ommitted--- at the very least they should be clearly labelled as "attributed". ~ Achilles 03:53, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- I agree, thus I have placed these very EXTREME comments in the talk page:
- "I want to kill everyone! The world must burn!"
- "Hitler is my hero. I love him."
- once a source is found, they may be corrected and placed back PEACE ~ RoboAction 07:46, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Reorganisation
This may be controversial, but I tried to organise things a bit more chronologically. I'm not trying to bury Fischer's views on Jews, the US, Russians, Kasparov but he first became famous as a chess player, so I thought his views on chess should come first. Also, and this is in no way a defence of his views, a more chronological listing might allow people to see how his views have developed. There is a case to be made that his bizarre and offensive personality traits were encouraged and allowed to develop unchecked after he was catapulted to international fame at the age of 13.
[edit] Citizenship
The title says that Fischer is an "American chess player", despite the fact of receiving the full Icelandic citizenship a year ago. I know that he will always be associated to be an american, but shouldn't the term be corrected nonetheless?
