Many chess fans consider Bobby Fischer to be the best chess player ever. He became the World Chess Champion in 1972 after beating Boris Spassky in a match in Reykjavik. Three years later, Bobby Fischer refused to defend his championship title against a new challenger, Anatoly Karpov, because he was unhappy with the format of the World Chess Championship match. From 1972 on, Bobby Fischer stopped playing serious chess, but the mark he had made on history was permanent.
In 1992, however, Bobby Fischer agreed to participate in an unofficial rematch against Boris Spassky where the winner would be the first player to score 10 wins with draws not counting. Fischer won the match conclusively with a score of 17.5/30. After this special match, Fischer never played competitively again and sadly passed away in 2008 in Iceland.
But there are a number of chess players and fans alike who believe that the legendary Bobby Fischer returned and played a series of brilliant games on the Internet in 2001. The story was that Bobby Fischer sometimes logged on to the Internet Chess Club (ICC) as a guest and played an incredible series of blitz games against random opponents. However, some of his opponents were strong grandmasters and the unknown guest would beat them with ease. Nigel Short, for example. said that he was “99 percent sure” that he had played Bobby Fischer. Although Bobby Fischer denied having played these games, there is some evidence that it was him after all.
In this free preview video, IM Valeri Lilov, who also believes that it was Bobby Fischer who played these fantastic games online, shares some of the games with you and tells you exactly the reasons why he thinks it was Fischer and not a chess engine or another strong grandmaster.
