Bobby Fischer, considered by many as the best chessplayer ever, has been arrested in Tokyo. The rest of the story is here:

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1792

He has made some really untolerable comments about 9/11, and is famous for his violent anti-semitic declaration (he is Jewish).

Yet I think his place is in a hospital, not in a jail.

When did he crop up on the radar?

I thought he went missing years ago, I never heard anything about the yugoslavia stuff, I should have gotten a computer earlier.

He looks pretty good for 61, I think.

Or is this an old photo?

i think that's an old photo but even if not, it's the condition of his mind that is suspect.

I've never heard of him. He sounds insane though.

Here is what Kasparov said about Fischer in the Wall Street Journal :

"People may believe that this is what happens when a genius plays chess -- instead of what happens when a fragile mind leaves his life's work behind."
