- Garry Kasparov Visits Bobby Fischer's Grave
On March 9th, 2014 - what would have been Bobby Fischer's 71 birthday, Garry Kasparov visited his grave in Selfoss, Iceland. It was a unique moment for chess, as the two, arguably the strongest chess players in history, never met and thus were never so close to each other. Chess.com was there to witness the moment and do a brief interview with Mr Kasparov.

I hope someone as respectable does the same for Kasparov one day
Jeff Sol "A World Champion Karjakin would have been a misunderstanding. After all, all 16 World Champions, starting with Steinitz, are remarkable players, and our chess world is proud of them. It would have been very strange indeed if a player such as Karjakin had outplayed an opponent of Carlsen's class. For such a sensation the stars in heaven really need to be in a seriously unusual constellation."
That was Kasparov after Magnus retained the World Championship title in December last year. That really doesn't sound like bad terms. When they split, they both said that they would remain in contact and occassionally train together.
leerobbo92 just recently they played quite the friendly tourney double blitz
Well, Kasparov is not Fischer so no, no one will do it.
Oscar Davila Kasparov is the only other player to have anywhere near as definitive a lead over his contemporaries as Fischer did, yet he did that for nearly 20 years compared to the 2 or 3 that Fischer did. It took nearly 15 years for anyone to top his rating, just like it took some 20 years for Kasparov to top Fischer, even with the advent of strong computers to help with training. Of course someone will, what an ignorant comment.

Respect to Kasparov for showing this gesture!
These compliments to Kasparov's gesture are all well and good, but ask yourself - would Fischer have wanted this? Would Fischer have appreciated it? I can almost imagine the ghost of Fischer hunting Kasparov off the grounds.
People say Fischer went off the deep end but in some ways Kasparov is just as bad now. Every day it's Putin conspiracy this, Putin conspiracy that. He is polar opposites to Fischer in politics and in life, the only thing he has respect for is his chess. It seems a bit like loving a woman for her beauty. Well, whether Kasparov gained something from this for himself or not is one thing, I don't accept that it's some glorious gesture he should be "respected" for, especially as he had the cameras on him and it could be all planned for publicity.
@@vivekbarnvasynanndi3439 hahahaha
@The Liquidator I've watched that part several times and I'm 90% sure the next word is "player", which if correct may be the only time in chess history that an immortal like Kasparov clearly believes that another legendary player was better than he. Interviewers try all the time to get this out of the greats to no avail, but Kasparov appears to put it in writing.
@@RaniaIsAwesome absolutely, Kasparov was a hypocrite, he hounded Fischer in his late life and here he is trying to look magnanimous...
Kasparov isn't worthy of being near that grave. He cheats in tournaments. He cheated against Judit Polgar and Nakamura. No respect for him.
The strongest player ever is visiting the grave of the greatest talent ever.......respect to both
Bobby Fischer had talent ,but also worked very hard to achieve his dream .
ex59neo53 exactly
exactly!
no one has ever been better than fischer at his best, and no one reigned like kasparov. the two greatest players ever.
hairy booty - I agree, the Fischer of 1971 and the Kasparow of the late 90s were probably the best players ever. I also rate the Carlsen of 2014 quite high. I wonder how the Lasker of 1900 would have performed today - let's say with a few months time of preparation with full access to all current chess databases . I guess he would also fare quite well, his talent was immense.
If Fischer hadn't retired from competitive chess after winning the World Championship, sooner or later he would have played against a younger Gary Kasparov. And then sparks would have flew...
Didn't Karpov admit that at the time he didn't feel he could beat fischer then. Then after he won some pretty strong tournaments then he felt he was ready to play fischer as equal. I believe that Fischer would have beaten Karpov then but to let time go by as Karpov got stronger would have been a big mistake Fischer would have regretted if they had played but it is all heresay now.
Euclides Zoto
The Fischer who crushed the candidates and beat Spassky was not Fischer at his peak either. Chess players historically have their best performances in their mid-to-late 30's. Fischer's greatest domination would have been around 1979-1984.
The Liquidator Well Fischer - if he'd held off his inner demons - might have faced both of them at some stage - and if Fischer had kept improving he'd have beaten both of them a few times. Eventually he'd lose of course.
But then of course the development of the 2 Ks would have been different, having to face Fischer. Who knows how things would work out :)
The psychological pressure of playing Spassky in 1972 must have been tremendous. One needs to remember that it was during the 'Cold War', and that the Soviet Union had dominated Chess since the end of WWII; and they expected to continue to do so. Russian players were essentially professional, getting considerable funding from the State. Bobby Fischer was this 'wildcat' amateur taking on 'The Machine'.
I believe that to continue to play Chess under that sort of psychological pressure would have been too much for most people.
I am pretty sure that Karpov and Kasparov would be beaten up. For one, Bobby style was equal to no style. He develop a strength to hit in the right moment...this is gift, talent, you name it. A truly genius of his time and among others have not been understood, nor accepted.
No one notices Spassky . If he could reject Fischer's offer he would have won because of the rules . He's such a gentleman in my perspective
Spassky also applauded Fischer for being defeated by him in style. Furthermore Spassky announced Fischer world champion without the slightest sign of grief in his voice.
Never before and after I have seen a parting world chess champion showing such a great character.
He wanted to play Fischer at his best. It really showed that he was a true sportsman who cared about the game more than anything. Respect to Spassky
Totally agree with you.
Also he played in the king's gambit, putting dubious but fun above solid and boring
Spassky understood and appreciated that he sat in front of the best ever, and so came the standing ovation and applause and we can say he did this for all of us.
Not only is Kasparov brilliant chess player that I look up to, turns out he's a gentleman as well.
Absolutely
Yes. Of course he means every word of what he says. Fischer was a chess idol for Kasparov. Thing is a lot of people made out the Fischer-Spassky match to be a part of the cold war but reality is it was only like that to the news and to people that don't really follow Chess. Kasparov admired the play of Fischer as a kid when Fischer was world champion. Chess is never about the nationality of the guy sitting on the other side of the table from you.
Well said Respect.
Yes. A great player and just as great a human.
I think he is a kind, nice man, and that is what matters for me. Politics aside.
I went to his grave 2 years ago. Everything I could of thought, Kasparov said it.
Thaïla Khampo could have* thought. No such thing as could of thought
@@mo_reefy thank you. I speak 4 languages but my English is the third one. ;)
I guess you could say he thinks a few moves ahead huh ? :)
Kasparov is very well spoken, and of course English is a second or third language for him.
A few years ago he was on "Real Time" and just blew everyone away. So intelligent.
60smusicrules MOSTLY CHESS PLAYERS ARE GENIUS!!!
He majored in English in the University...
I’m very impressed and surprised, his English is almost perfect, I live in USA for almost 30 years and I have a heavier accent than him 😂
He command of English is still nothing compared to his command of Chess
Kasparov reveres the history of the game. Respect.
Agreed. And I'm with you on the red A in your pic.
I feel sorry for Bobby, he suffered a lot, i think he was a good man, maybe you think he was crazy, but this world is full of hate, violence, injustice... he knew it and he couldnt accept it. Thats all. Rest in peace Bobby
He too became a voice of hatred
@@scoobydoo7275jew industries ruined america do research
Bobby is a very intelligent man, he knows what he was talking about. It's the truth, let's go!
bobby was an anti semite too, I truly feel sorry for him
@@littlemulberryleaf1983 im sure he doesn’t care at all about your phony sympathy
Garry Kasparov is truly gentlemen.
+Mohamed Shire And a great champion and fantastic guy, always appreciate others and never belittles anyone..
classic mixes He hated the jews & became Christian.
He could call the Jews whatever he wanted. The fact is both of his parents were Jewish. That makes him devil, too, then.
On the contrary, Fischer as a person was a complete asshat.
@viking lover
Take your nazi shit somewhere else, you ignorant fuckwit.
Kasparov, like Fischer, was not raised as a jew. He was Jewish on his father's side but was not raised Jewish, never practised and he eventually became a Christian. To be Jewish, your mother must be Jewish, so he is not. Fischer was Jewish in theory, but was not raised as a jew and became a Christian, as did Kasparov.
And what does it matter? There are good and bad people in every religion and ethnic group. The only people who are universally evil are racists like you.
That sort of makes up for never having the two greatest minds of chess playing against each other, thank you for being such a gentleman Mr Kasparov, RIP Robert J Fischer
+HCOONa Matata I'm pretty sure Fisher wouldn't have wanted him to visit! Kasparov represents what Fischer despised the most on this planet!
+Benasr Haylem ikr
@@oldmangaming6620 pretty sure Kasparov does not represent america or the jews, so that makes no sense lol.
Kasparov is a great man for being a gentleman and kind.Greetings from Puerto Rico
Lots of respect to Kasparov for taking off his hat even with the snow falling before standing in front of the grave
If I went there, I would just break down in tears, I actually teared up watching this video. I still cannot believe that he is really gone. RIP Bobby Fischer, I wish I could have shaken your hand.....
Why?
@@trobertw why not? Shaking stuff is fun, I like shaking stuff.
he was a supporter of the 9 11 attacks and a huge anti semite
After all of the grief Fischer dished out to Kasparov while he was World Champion, Kasparov has proven himself a class act.
His remarkable command of English and his pure intelligence make for a very engaging personality. And he has a profound appreciation of Bobby's impact on the game.
Gary expresses his thoughts every bit as brilliantly as he plays chess.
Bobby was the only real chess master. No chess player repeated his victories. Eternal respect for the fischer
Thanks for uploading this video. The two greatest chess players of all time, Kasparov at the grave of Bobby. Very touching, hearing Kasparov talking about Bobby in this way, with great respect en sense.
There is something uniquely beautiful about visiting the grave of a great man, by a great man of his own (Kasparov) and all whilst it is snowing.
Kasparov is Russian, so snow is no big deal
Garry is a genius himself...a man of fine character....sad that Bobby did not have a family...children...a happy life...RIP
Actually, he had a wife and a supposed child.
This is a great champion! A man, who can recognize the achievements of other great champions with a sincerity of tone. Garry Kasparov is a tremendous person, and quite simply the strongest chess player of all time. Hats off in tribute to him!
Jimmie Beatty Kasparov sounds very sincere; however, Magnus Carlsen is the strongest player of the world. Who cares, both are great.
kit kitty Carlsen is being fed chess positions by experienced grandmasters and computer analysis. Players like fischer, tal, capablanca and Kasparov didn't help by computers. So I consider Carlsen to be above average
You probably dont even play chess. Kasparov was honoring fischer for.his achievements.in chess which paved a way for promoting the game. Nobody frankly cares what you think about your paranoid views. He didnt even have to.fly to iceland or spend time to commemorate his predecessors. Kasparov had a respect.for the game of chess and his monumental writings on his predecessors (not just fischer) is about 3000-4000 pages of proof
+Jimmie Beatty I fully agree with that statement.. Kasparov is an amazing personality.. But I could also say the same for Karpov.. Both great guys and champs always respectful for others.
+Jimmie Beatty turn down for what!!!!
I never new Kasparov was so humble. A true diplomat for the game of Chess.
After seeing this video, I now respect Kasparov more than ever before. It's easier to be a great chess player than to have great character. Kasparov has a great heart.
you're very naive and people like you are why this video was made
Yes.
Pretty Cool that he visited his grave...And nothing but nice things to say...
Kasparov is not only perhaps the greatest chess player in recorded history, but is also a great historian. He has a major passion for history, and a phenomenal grasps of the significance of the events, in the possible outcomes that may have followed if fate had gone the other way. But my deepest respect for him comes from the fact that he is a decent human being, and a person who has managed to overcome even that of his own great success in life, even despite his driving ego. Many others in chess and otherwise, are not able to do that.
Although I respect his chess, his personality and his flair as a person, Kasparov is not a respected historian. He does good work in political activism though with respect to modern day Russia.
This was a really nice gesture. Kasparov did a good thing in coming here. Thank You Garry.
Even though fishcer hated Kasparov
Kasparov visited his grave
This guy is a very gentle man
Kasparov was running for FIDE president at the time ... Just my 2 cents
Its all for the cameras
When did fischer said he hated kasparov
When a Legend pays respect to another Legend, what a Legendary feeling that gives you!...🙏
What a great tribute from one chess immortal to another! I grew up watching Bobby blaze his trail in chess from Brooklyn to Reykjavik…
Thank you Mr. Kasparov for your work, your thoughtful perspective, for everything. You inspire.
Robert fischer is the best chess player ever and is the reason that i started playing chess
He is a legend
He is a legend indeed,, good with bad..... I myself started to play when i saw the lewis chessmen for the first time..
I am not a good chess player but i love to watch bobby games, is he better than Magnus?
@@TheDataArchitect If he had come up in the same generation of Magnus, most likely. People have estimated he'd be somewhere around a 3000 FIDE rating in this era. Of course this is just speculation, but seeing his strength as a player back then, without any outside help, it's probable.
Kolby K you know I love to talk about Fischer. And no wonder I believe he had photographic memory. Thats amazing. I am bad at visualizing chess moves in head😭
You Americans knew Bobby Fischer as the best because of US propaganda of the cold war. The rest of the world knew Karpov and then Kasparov as the best players, simply because they where better.
GREAT!! Kasparov! you are becoming a well rounded inspiring Chess leader and more. What you appreciated about the Great Fischer's career and the way you said it was simply touching.
Beautiful and respectful words which reflects back on Garry Kasparov also. Many could learn from this generous gesture.
Garry Kasparov is a good, humble guy with two feet on the ground. Respect.
Fischer was controversial person, but a brilliant talent. His achievements in chess left a huge mark that should not be erased.
Respect to Kasparov for his humanity and generosity.
thnk u Kasparov fr ur kindness
Great gesture by Legend himself to pay his tribute and acknowledge great contributions made by Bobby for chess.
The second greatest Chess player paying respects to the greatest Chess player. Amazing
The greatest chess player paying respects to the third greatest...
*R.I.P Bobby Fischer ☆*
Very nice of you to pay a. Visit to fischer's grave a true legend and gentleman you are. I myself. Consider you the best but bobby deserves respect for his hard work to achieve his place at the top. Have a good one Gary!!
Two brilliant Chess Masters who have never met, finally meet! RIP Bobby!
RIP Bobby Fischer...we will always miss you.
Damn i almost cried.. how kasparov was staring at the grave he was like the man Here made some great moves in chess history.
It is very kind of Garry Kasparov. Courageous and honest man. Indeed, the two strongest players in the chess history met here at this modest place in Selfoss, Iceland. It is pity and shame that the greatest chess player Fisher didn't have possibility to have eternal rest in his motherland
Considering how much he hated america and how much america hated I'm pretty sure he wouldn't consider it too much of a shame.
@@LunnarisLP Still his home
Thanks Gary, for a class tribute to Bobby Fischer, and Chess.com. 😊❤️
Thank you Gary Kasparov for your decency, humanity and quintessential example of a true gentleman. This world needs more people like you!!!😇
I would have loved to see a matchup between Kasparov and Fischer. Sadly, it never happened. Arguably the two best players ever.
Garry is a sensitive, caring guy. His sadness for Fischer's passing, and for what might have been but never was, is obviously sincere and heart felt.
Its so great to see kasparov respecting Fischer and saying these things. Although Fischer had said some rude comments to Kasparov.
When Fischer got onto a subject and he thought he was not being taken seriously, he would go overboard, which only weakened his argument. He needed to realise that sometimes reducing the psychological pressure can be just as effective.
2 of the greatest chess players finally met, my dream has come true... :)
7 yearss..
Pure sportsmanship...🎖
He touched a piece in a game against Polgar, and then moved a different piece.
So much for that theory.
Match Fischer-Spassky, one of the greatest moment in history
1972 was my baptism into chess, I can feel the excitement still to this day. it was a magical time
Garry you Sir are the Man, my honest respect!
Well said by Garry Kasparov. He is such a great ambassador for the world of chess.
Bobby was also one of the most glib, honest, funny, and charming persons ever to speak on the world stage. His story is epic with amazing highs and lows and filled with controversy and challenge and wonder. At least there are a lot of examples of his interviews on the Internet to enjoy so we can see how truly honest he was whether he was right or wrong he had the honesty to turn off his filter so we could hear a little bit of the inner workings of a great mind.
Really, there are few in recorded history who have enabled us to see who they really are.
RIP Bobby Fischer.
Its amazing that guys like Kasparov stayed sane after all the battles he been part of
No matter how many bad and wrong things Fischer said about Kasparov, Kasparov put those things aside and praised Fischer for his chess.
To me, if someone said so many nasty things about me, it would be difficult to show such respect to him, even if I know that he suffered from paranoid personality disorder.
Even at the height of his paranoid madness, Fischer said that Kasparov was a chess genius.
His paranoia wasn't a disorder, he was correct. He WAS being spied on repeatedly. He had a good reason for thinking what he did.
VikingII Lol, man, you are watched too, I guess ?
Viking is pointing out something relevant. Viktor Korchnoi confirmed that a lot of Fischer's paranoia about the Russians colluding against him was valid, and for a period of time they were actually using the purposeful draw strategy he accused them of using. The problem is that Fischer took that paranoia and sailed off into la-la land shortly after that...
EGarrett01 The reason could be simple: Fischer was by far the strongest in US beating all opponents (like 11:0 against Benko) but he could not beat Russians so easily and that made him mad and paranoid. Remember that he was not exactly nice guy in real life, I guess price for being genius, by the way that makes him alike with Kasparov which is also quite a scandalist.
Thanks to UA-cam for allowing generations to be able to witness and analyze Bobby Fischer's games in a away that was never possible in 72
tears fell from my eyes... :'-(
Bitch.
@@Hotobu bruh
Mr. Kaspárov, you are truly a gentleman. ♟
Fischer was the greatest chess player who has ever lived IMHO. The mixture of having access to advanced development in chess theory and his tremendous talent isn't surpassed by anyone today. Players who formed the top 10 after he left the chess world had been weaker than him for more than 20 years although they had access to all this even bigger knowledge by then. What this means in terms of talent and dedication is obvious. In the late 60ies/early 70ies a 2700 ELO-rating was as high as probably a 2820 ELO-rating in classical chess is today. Spasski as the no. 2 in the world was not far off 2700 then while Fischer scratched the 2800 rating - simply outstanding. Even today he would be among the top 10 chess players in the world if his peak-rating in 1971 is considered.
Well said Gary.
A beautiful tribute from a truly great man.
I've been to Fischer's gravesite. It is an unassuming grave at a small Lutheran Church in the small town of Selfoss. I am very happy to see a remarkable Grandmaster like Garry Kasparov pay tribute to Fischer.
Is it so far away that it feels isolated? He seemed so alone throughout his life. That isn’t good for the psyche either.
As an avid Patzer, I have to give credit to Gary, for taking the time out of his busy schedule to pay his respects to Bobby. My connection to Bobby was that we were both born in the same year, a month apart. we both learned chess at the same age. But I stayed a patzer, and he became world champion!. I have utmost respect for both men. and what they did and do for chess. is commendable. God speed. Gary.

A lovely and thoughtful tribute!
First learned of Bobby Fischer in grade 4 ,Bobby published a book on chess which I constantly studied and wrote in.What a brilliant man,my chess guru forever
Bobby Fischer without doubt the greatest and most inventive chess player of all time ! Thank you Bobby
kasparov... you sir are a gentleman beyond compere
UA-cam recommending this to me 8 years later, that too before my exams, making me cry 🥲
Thankyou Garry Kasparov For Motivating Me In My Chess Career.
I learned to play chess at the age of 14. I'm 41 now, Garry Kasparov is a true world champion even though he lost his title a few years back. Bobby Fischer will always go down as the best of his time as well.
You dont see any of that frightening persona Kaspy had at the chessboard. He seems a genuinely nice guy.
That was a mighty fine gesture from a mighty fine man. They're both the epitome of highest rank that chess can bestow on a player, the title of Chess Grandmaster. Only the game lives on and those that gave it their all, will forever reflect its value, as one of the greatest gifts Mankind has ever had in its possession. A physical mental gym.
Thank you for this Gary.
Very nicely done sir. Thanks.
I would like to say Garry Kasparov is not only perhaps the greatest chess player who ever lived at chess but also one of the most courageous humanitarian and defender of freedom as well as promoter of education that chess has ever seen; I have seen some of the horrible comments Bobbie stated about Kasparov. Yet as u can clearly see a very competitive man (Kasparov) shows mercy and compassion never said unkind personal attacks toward Fischer. In fact he goes to his grave in Iceland to pay tribute and honor Mr. Fischer . What class and what a man (Kasparov) . God bless u Garry and may God bless Bobbie Fischer may he rest in peace. Amen
one of the most courageous humanitarian and defender of freedom as well as promoter of education is bobby fischer and he was persecuted for standing up for something unlike this kasparov who you seem to think of as a courageous person despite him being revered in all media which is owned and run by evil people
Господи! Спасибо за этот ролик! Низкий поклон Боби Фишеру.помним его,помним это время.
I vividly remember that match in 1972...It inspired me to be a player. Thank you Mister Kasparov....for your outpouring of sadness and respect....for all of us .....Thank you
So eloquently said by Mr. Kasparov, very sincere.
I respect Kasparov for doing this, he is such a gentleman!!
He touched a piece in a game against Polgar, and then moved a different piece.
So much for that theory.
Bobby will be missed :(
I agree with K. He mentions the word "insane" to finish of his career at 29. Let's all hope that what becomes of us are lives fulfilled. RIP Fisher. I will forever remember. Such great source of inspiration.
Thank you for showing his grave site. I always wondered what the surroundings looked liked. Thanks.
Good action Garry, very noble, good for the chess, good for the humanity, God bless you. Bobby, God bless you too, a great man, a great chess champion.
lot of people dont know that the ill-minded Bobby Fischer bad-mouthed Kasparov repeatedly on his game, character, and ethics throughout the 80's 90's... pushed propaganda against Kasparov. chess was a game of political power and national pride then.. props to Kasparov to overlook all that especially with him being Russian and Fischer being American. Acts like these really reveal the wisdom and utmost respect to the game for what it really is...
If Kasparov would become upset, it would validate what Bobby was saying, so this was the smart move for K
Kasparov isn't Russian, he's an Armenian Jew. Much like the primarily-Jewish Bolshevik revolutionaries that destroyed the country once already, he has a deep seated hatred for Russia and for Russians.
Great people usually show respect to others with greatness
Fischer clearly ended his life in great mental anguish and suffered severe symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia (and Fischer's early retirement from chess clearly had something to do with a troubled soul). Kasparov is rightly showing maturity in this situation and kudos to him for doing that.
That's not to say Fischer never complemented "Weinstein" when he thought he had a good line. Just very rarely.
Keep it up Kasparov you are the future for chess and Russia
shivers down my spine. what a legend, what a tragedy.
Fischer found happiness in his own way - only God will judge - may he rest in peace.
I don't think he found happiness in this life. Tragically, he was angry, bitter, and paranoid. He became antisemitic, despite his own Jewish background, and saw enemies everywhere. It's truly sad, the case of a chess genius who was also mentally ill.
@@KingoftheJuice18 Nobody understands why madness and genius are first cousins. It was extremely odd that a Jewish kid turned to anti-semitic bs. The red mother with whom he had a complex relationship didn't help and not having a secure upbringing ofcourse.
@@mimibarn I'm sure there were many factors....I prefer to remember him for his chess contributions and the joy he brought to many through those.
@@KingoftheJuice18 he's not jjewish. just a jew. he can be anti semitic all he wants because religions are fucked up and he saw the truth in that
@@jingyitay6179 You have a lot to learn about history, religion, hatred...and Bobby Fischer.
Small grave in middle of nowhere for the greatest chess player in world and US history. Yet not a single bridge, building, air port, library or highway is named after him. This man brought the world together and at stand still in 1972 yet to this day, not much in his native country except defaming him and calling him insane.
What a shame.
It's because of the things he did later on in life, I think
Beautiful video, and Garry's words hit the mark.
What a classy guy Kasparov is. To show respect to someone like he does here speaks volumes for him as a person.
*R.I.P Bobby Fischer 💐*
Garry Kasparov never made as much as money as Fischer made in 1992...that match was for $ 5,000,000.... Also in his book about Bobby Fischer with the help of supercomputers he would criticize his best moves and he would give him back handed compliments.... People that don't know Chess have heard of Bobby Fischer but those people have never heard of Garry.... He had an entire team of helpers work on his openings, Bobby's genius was he did it all alone and brought down the mighty Soviet chess machine and embarrassed the hell out of them in that match by beating them down with a lopsided score.. Let us not forget ,before he got to that final match he beat 20 grand masters in a row ,something Garry couldn't manage in 10 lifetimes with all his Helpers.... In his writings you can see Garry's clearly jealous of Bobby Fischer... But it is nice that he went to visit his grave.... But even there he said this Reminds me Of unfulfilled potential.... You see my point
Perry FOR ME AND MY FAMILY HE IS THE GREATEST CHESS PLAYER OF ALL TIME.
Yeah i know nothing about chess but i picked up on that
By kasparov ...was a bit strange
That's an incredibly humble grave/graveyard!
Rip Bobby Fischer! Thank you for a beautiful tribute Mr Kasparov. When it's all said and done history will remember you as one of the greatest Chess players ever!
