In fact the other HM in my life was trying to convince me he was already dead the other night, which was why he was in my head. I knew he wasn't - there's no way that information would have slipped by me.

Wow, I didn't see Bobby Fischer coming. I always felt sorry for him for being harassed by his own government.

I am so sad about this one - He was only 64, but I think his brain was well over 100. IMO, The best chess playing human ever, bar none! R.I.P.

Suzanne Pleshette, 70, ‘Newhart’ Actress, Dies

Quote:

Suzanne Pleshette, the husky-voiced actress who redefined the television sitcom wife in the 1970s, playing the smart, sardonic Emily Hartley on “The Bob Newhart Show,” died Saturday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 70.

Ms. Pleshette died of respiratory failure, her lawyer, Robert Finkelstein, told The Associated Press. Ms. Pleshette had undergone chemotherapy in 2006 for lung cancer.

He was harassed much more by the Russians than anyone - especially after they criticized his play at 14 and then he went on to beat 3 of the Russian prodigies in a row. The final straw being the world championship when he beat "the unbeatable" Boris Spassky in 1972.

The "harassment" from the U.S. was more his fault than anything else.

Radar · 01-20-2008, 11:41 PM

His fault? For what? Choosing to play chess again? The United States has zero authority to tell any citizen where they may or may not travel or whom they may or may not play chess with.

Aliantha · 01-21-2008, 01:11 AM

Well they had a clip of him on the news the other night saying how the US is evil blah blah blah.

I imagine anyone with international recognition and at that time, access to a country the US was locked in a cold war with, would be subject to a reasonable amount of scrutiny if they went around routinely making statements like that. Rightly so or not.

classicman · 01-21-2008, 07:39 AM

Not here radar, please? A little respect for the dead, ya know? If you really wanna debate his life with me fine, but make another thread.

Clodfobble · 01-21-2008, 09:50 AM

Yes, please remember that it is very important to respect the dead in a thread made to gamble on who will die first.
