AThe following two contradictory reports offer the public direct insight into the type of people directly responsible for manufacturing false stories about Robert Fischer, and propagating myths of being “delusional” and “hallucinating”. The report confirms, beyond reasonable doubt, that human interference was directly at fault for blowing Fischer's concentration. Not some bewildering product of a “wild imagination”. ANY person, who finds themself engaged in tournament competition which demands intense focus and concentration playing at the level Fischer was, would certainly have their concentration blown to bits, and hence, rendering otherwise accurate playing skills, ineffectual over the board.
False Spassky-Fischer First Game Analysis
FALSE: “As for the game itself, it reveals a tremendous loss of form for the American, and falls far below the standard of play one expects in a world championship match. It could be a sign that Fischer's nerves have failed him, and that he has begun to hallucinate at the chess board.” - Peter Dorman, 07/13/1972, who was not present. HOGWASH!! NONSENSE!!
TRUE: “Then came a dramatic suspension of play. Fischer observed that a cameraman was training a camera on him from the roof. He protested and said he would not resume play until the camera was removed. For 32 minutes the game stood in abeyance, and in the interim, Fischer's clock was going. However, he had plenty of time. Fred Kramer, vice-president of the American Zone of the World Chess Federation, called in the police and the cameraman was ordered away.
<--When play was resumed, Fischer's position went downhill rapidly--> until he reached a point, where he was unable to move without material loss.” - Harry Golombek, 07/13/1972 who was present as an observer.
