Corner Store Gossip

Bobby Fischer passed away January 17th 2008. He was a chess Grandmaster, political refugee and later a citizen of Iceland.

I heard the news in our grocery store today, incidentally from a man who looked greatly like Bobby Fischer himself as I just realized when I was checking the information and saw his picture on Wikipedia.

I hope he lived a happy life on this tiny island that welcomes all eccentric wanderers with equal strength.
