He look like the cover of ChessMaster.

Fascinating.

I am rather sceptical of your characterisation. He strikes me as a wonderfully free person. He says nothing for effect. He does not have to appear superior. Nothing he says is cryptic. He is more open than in his interviews as a young man. He did advance as a person. This is only based on what I see on Youtube.

@Kreuzritter1933 if you say so.

@chess240 Not disintegration. He just never moved on with the next stage of his life. Living for ever in your prime would eventually drive you mad. Kissing girls in shop doorways at 03:00am holds no excitement for me as it did at 21. At 42 I enjoy family meals with my family. When I am 82, I hopefully shall enjoy watching grandchildren, just as at age 5 I enjoyed my lego set. disintegration is not the worst thing.

I completely agree with him. Thats not what people want to hear...the truth. The money is made by selling chess books, chess sets and programs to Mr average. This doesnt concern Mr average, and so Bobby is bad for business. I can quite believe he has enemies in high places that like to say he is mad, and I bet it was a relief to some that he cant talk any more. Its logical to me the more theory there is, the more a person has to rely on teams of people and computers. He went to far with 9/11

[Kreuzritter1933]

He sounds like a serious comedian 

[Kreuzritter1933]

@warblerab Not really

[graffitimike1]

that pissed me off because the most interesting things you would like a legend of chess to finish is why he gave up the game on his honored gamble to discuss more money when he had to defend his title.

[edmund184]

Can we have the rest of the video, please?

[warblerab]

the guy is a loon.

I don't want to get old, the biggest thing of this whole story, seems to me anyway, is the disintegration of this man. Once young and now this, and all on video.
