Match generated fan participation

ON CHESS Match generated fan participation Saturday, November 21, 2009 3:10 AM By SHELBY LYMAN The move-by-move coverage by PBS of the 1972 Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world-title series evoked an extraordinary response despite the apparent chess illiteracy of the American public.

Game was once a hit on television Saturday, November 14, 2009 3:29 AM By SHELBY LYMAN Chess seemed an unlikely candidate as a spectator sport when New York's PBS station announced its intended TV coverage of the Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world-championship match in 1972.

Fischer: Brilliant & Idiotic

Writing for the Skeptical Inquirer, Martin Gardner counts chess genius Bobby Fischer among those whom he considers both "extremely intelligent" as well as being "simple minded". Take, for example, Isaac Newton and A. C. Doyle. The former, being a Christian, apparently tried to calculate the exact date of the Second Coming; while the latter, wait for this, believed in fairies! Martin...
