R.I.P.



Legendary chess genius Bobby Fischer has passed away.

He was 64.

The notoriously reclusive Fischer, whose life was turned into a film, died Thursday after a serious, but unspecified, illness, his rep said.

Bobby - to this day - is America's only world chess champion, after defeating the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky at the height of the Cold War.
