US is not the world

I feel a wounded pride in your writing, something akin to the Sputnik affair. While I understand these sentiments, they do not, by themselves, elevate the event to any new height. It would be silly to claim Fischer did not have talent... it is every bit as silly to blow it out of proportion, as you are doing. It really doesn't matter whether he left the sport at 29 or 79, what matters is his achievement, the biggest of which was one world title. Spectacular, to be sure... but far from unique. As far as being an international event, I would dare say Karpov/Korchnoi match was at least as attention-grabbing. Making an event by being an asshole is one thing. Defending the title against a couple of world's best would had been far more impressive. We all know what he choose.
