He was definitely not an idiot savant.

I don't exactly what you mean by "impact" outside of chess. He was the best in the world for quite a while and achieved a level only fairly recently surpassed (rating-wise). He didn't play again (other than the stupid Spassky rematch) after winning the championship and, along the way, destroyed the top players in the world in a manner never seen before. He wrote some good chess books and was fairly interested in sports as a younger man. Isn't being the best in the world good enough or do you have to be the best in the world on two things in order not to be an "idiot savant?" Is Michael Jordan an idiot savant?
