Fascinating Bobby Fischer Interview Posted On YouTube
Chess Players
A fascinating interview with GM Bobby Fischer shortly after he became the world champion in 1972 has recently been posted on YouTube. Apart from sharing his thoughts on the match, Fischer shows remarkable skill at solving the 15 Puzzle.

The 18.5-minute interview is Fischer's television appearance with Johnny Carson on November 8, 1972, about two months after Fischer had defeated GM Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland. Carson was an American TV host, comedian, writer, and producer but is most famous for his "The Tonight Show," which ran between 1962 and 1992.
