A Tribute To The Soul Of The Greatest Chess Player In the History Of Mankind :The Legendary Robert James Fischer السلام إلى روح أعظم من لعب الشطرنج فى التاريخ الأسطورة الراحل بوبى فيشر

 Robert James "Bobby" Fischer (March 9, 1943 – January 17, 2008) was an American chess player and the eleventh World Chess Champion. He is widely considered one of the greatest chess players of all time. Fischer was also a best-selling chess writer. After ending his competitive career, he proposed a new variant of chess, and a modified chess timing system; both of these ideas have received some support in recent years.Widely considered a "chess legend", at age 13 Fischer won a “brilliancy” that became known as the Game of the Century. Starting at age 14, he played in eight United States Championships, winning each by at least a point. At 15½, he became both the youngest Grandmaster and the youngest Candidate for the World Championship up until that time. He won the 1963–64 US championship 11–0, the only perfect score in the history of the tournament. In the early 1970s he became the most dominant player in modern history - winning the 1970 Interzonal by a record 3½-point margin and winning 20 consecutive games, including two unprecedented 6–0 sweeps in the Candidates Matches. According to research by Jeff Sonas, in 1971 Fischer had separated himself from the rest of the world by a larger margin of playing skill than any player since the 1870s. He became the first official World Chess Federation (Fédération Internationale des Échecs) (FIDE) number one rated chessplayer in July 1971, and his 54 total months at number one is the third longest of all-time.In 1972, he captured the World Championship from Boris Spassky of the USSR in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland that was widely publicized as a Cold War battle. The match attracted more worldwide interest than any chess match, before or since...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer)
Rest in peace Bobby ...God bless your soul my friend...my hero

The Legendary 12th World Chess Champion GM\Anatoly Karpov :A Closer Look


When I entered the Chairman's Meeting Hall in the tennis stadium at Smouha Club heading towards our honorable guests to welcome them...Mr.Hussein Nafady -Chairman of the Egyptian Chess Federation-introduced me to the legendary 12th World Chess Champion GM\Anatoly Karpov and added pointing towards me "...this man is crazy about Bobby Fischer.."!! -which is true for many reasons:he raised the level of the game ;and also his achievements as a chess player , ...etc-surprisingly to me GM\Karpov laughed gently ;and we started a friendly conversation as if we knew each other for many years before !
When our honorable guests entered the VIP Hall accompanied by the well known businessman Engineer\Farag Amer -chairman of Smouha Club and member of the senate- GM\Karpov headed directly towards the young boys and girls playing blitz games then I saw his eyes shined not only with an expected talented genius look but with a look of hope ;a dream he wants to fulfill.
In his speech ...when the World Champion spoke his mind spontaneously -without any drafts of paper-about his current and future projects of opening Karpov's chess schools in the middle east and in the developing countries ;and the ambitions he wants to fulfil for the sake of the royal game ...his sincere language and integrity touched the hearts of all the audiences .
GM\Karpov has a charismatic type of personality : modest , sincere,kind person ; a real gentleman who has the ethics of a real hero and a World Champion who has millions of fans and admirers all over the world.
