how sport can mean far more than itself. This match was a Cold War showdown with Cuba reduced to a wooden board. Many chess masterminds, throughout history, have had serious emotional issues: is it in the nature of the game, itself, wherein the loss of a mere pawn can cause anguish to a seasoned player?
If you don't care about greatness, or about chess, fine. Others may find an examination of such a singularly brilliant human being to be fascinating, not finding him less so because he also didn't decipher the structure of DNA.

    As both were the product of that system.
    Like it or not, the system was indeed very productive and effective in that regard. Spassky was by far not the best product. In addition one might note that while it took Fischer quite an effort to beat Spassky, Karpov was able to do it in a spectacular fashion. Does that mean he was so much better than Bobby?
    Again... you have not demonstrated any impact outside the chess.

      It shows an utter disconnect with anything on the subject.
