Rare Bobby Fischer Photos

Submitted by SonofPearl on Tue, 10/13/2009 at 3:04am.

A few videos featuring rare photos of Bobby Fischer have recently surfaced on the internet. I'd seen one before (with different music in the background) but the others were new to me, so I thought it was worth sharing them here - they're definitely worth a look.

Fascinating pictures. Thanks. We can all thank Fischer for his inadvertent abandon of these photos and giving we chess fans more records of the life of an otherwise introverted man.

Nice pics! After seeing his pics and vids a lot, you start feeling like you know the guy!

Thanks for sharing!

Many thanks, SoP. As always, this is excellent stuff.

I'm presently re-reading Frank Brady's Profile of a Prodigy and these pics fit in very closely with my memories of that period and beyond. It's good to see some photographs from a time when things were going well for him.

I can't believe nobody commented on this. This is an awesome piece of chess history, even though I'm not a big fan of Bobby Fischer. Great job.
