Remember Bobby Fischer?

Yahoo! News - Chess master Bobby Fischer plans to abandon US nationality: lawyer

Anybody Remember Bobby Fischer?

He beat the Russians for the World Chess Championship during the cold war and put chess on the map in America.

But here he is today, hiding in Japan, annoucing he'd rather abandon his U.S. citizenship than be prosecuted in the States for playing a chess match against world champion Boris Spassky in the old Yugoslavia in 1992.

How low he has fallen.

How petty the American government and how ungrateful, toward the man who became a national hero and symbol of the fight against Bolshevism
