Bobby Fischer at Age 15

The following video will appeal to some of the younger readers of this blog. Here is Bobby Fischer as a goofy 15 year old who was already the top chess player in the United States. In fact, he was soon to fly to Yugoslavia to play against the best of the world. Could you imagine yourself standing on the stage in Bobby's place? What would be your secret?

The video comes from the TV game show "I've Got a Teen-Age Secret" on March 26, 1958.

I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:

1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.

I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
