Bobby Fischer, Checkmated
Chess grandmaster and provocateur Bobby Fischer has died at the age of 64, which coincidentally is the number of squares on a chessboard. Fischer brought a lot of media coverage to the world of chess thanks to his victory over Boris Spassky in 1972, but in his later years Fischer became better known for anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories. He died at a hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland.
