Bobby Fischer, chess genius, heartless son?

Here's another chess news archives I read about Bobby Fischer's past troubled life that I want to share with everyone. Among them was one about letters from his mother, Regina, to a friend describing her difficult relationship with her son. Since Fischer death last January the commemoration and even some degradation of his life continues up until now with varied opinion about the real contribution of Fischer to the world. Is it his contribution to chess that matters most or his compulsive negative remarks on political and social issues few had even despises of. But the fact is the truth about the real Bobby Fischer, the chess genius we all know are beginning to take shape. Sad, and even harrowing truth that slowly shadowed his brilliances on the board. Again, the articles may not be for the fainted hearted for all those who canonized Fischer. It's just another peek to the past life of an individual with a brilliant but troubled mind.
