A New Talent?!
Robert J. Fischer never ceases to amaze. After sweeping the United States Chess Championship with an 11-0 score, he now seems to be leaping into prominence in a field far removed from the 64 squares on which he first demonstrated his genius. And that famous Fischer wardrobe seems to become more complete (and exotic) every day.
Our thanks to USCF member Anthony Buzzoni of Wayne, New Jersey for bringing to our attention this remarkable new development in Fischer's career.
