REYKJAVIK (AFP) - Chess legend Bobby Fischer's life in Iceland was marked by both paranoid behaviour and quiet solitude, spending his days reading, fishing and devising new variations on the game he mastered, friends said.
The troubled American high school dropout, whose fabled 1972 victory over Soviet world champion Boris Spassky made him a Cold War hero, died Thursday at the age of 64 at his home in Iceland.
