His wikipedia summery is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fischer His only trouble with the law was ignoring a bullshit executive order, as if the decrees of the president apply to us instead of to the administration of the government as intended. The Jew's response to a highly intelligent person identifying their lies? Well, he must be insane. It is true that his mother was a Jew. Fled the soviet union due to antisemitism (probably wanted to keep some gold), and then fled Paris anticipating a German invasion. Man, everyone was hating on the Jews at that time. She raised bobby as a single mother, because Hans-Gerhardt, bobby's father, wasn't taking any of the antisemitism bullshit back in Moscow.
