CHESS-- Bobby Fisher-- dead at 64-- checkmate.

[+] Check.... and .... mate! Bobby Fisher and Boris Spasky was the most famous chess match of my youth in the 1970's. Some people would argue that Bobby Fisher isn't dead... that he's just "moved on" to "another world". In that case, a seance could be held, and like a oijii board, pieces might move on the board-- moves fisher himself would make. I don't think so however. I think Fisher is essentially dead-- mortified-- forever-- and our memory of him lives on... along with his famous moves. I think he was harrassed unneccessarily in his later life-- but I didn't follow that story.

I always find it interesting to see famous people die and NOT get frozen. That seems to be to be a big mistake, because in Fishers's case, if he HAD been frozen, it would not have been checkmate. In chessman's language, he would have been "in perpetual check"--
