Fischer's journey continues

AFP, Tokyo
Former US world chess champion Bobby Fischer, who is set to move to Iceland after eight months' detention in Japan, is widely considered one of the sport's most brilliant minds of all time.
Known for his strong character, he was a symbol in the United States of the Cold War-era struggle against communism, battling it out with the greatest Soviet chess champions.
In 1972 in Iceland he broke 24 years of Soviet dominance by defeating Boris Spassky and took home a World Championship.
Born March 9, 1943, in Chicago, the son of a German physicist, Robert James Fischer was brought up in Brooklyn, New York, by his mother after his parents divorced.
At the age of six his elder sister introduced him to chess and it swiftly became his one and only passion. At 14, he won junior and senior US Championships before becoming the following year the youngest contender for a world championship.
In 1959, he dropped out of school, deeming it a waste of time, to turn professional. His IQ reportedly was higher than that of Albert Einstein.
His success as a child prodigy and his impressive earnings helped earn him star status.
After a poor showing in 1962, he accused the Soviets of conspiring against him and soon thereafter joined a sect called the Worldwide
Church of God.
In 1968 he began a year-and-a-half time-out to prepare to take on Soviet rivals who had dominated the chess world since 1948.
His comeback was triumphant and his showdown with Spassky at the 1972 World Championships marked the height of his career. After that win, a moment ripe with Cold War symbolism, he disappeared from the chess scene.
In 1975 he contested federation rules for the game, and lost his title to the Soviet Anatoly Karpov. For almost 20 years, nothing could lure him back - neither top-dollar offers nor tough economic times after the sect left him in dire financial straits.
Unpredictable and taciturn, he steered clear of reporters and media and grew increasingly vocal in his denunciations of the United States and of Jews.
In 1992 he jumped back into chess with a "revenge match"
against Spassky. The match, that would earn him more than three million dollars, was held in Montenegro, in the former Yugoslavia, despite the UN embargo in effect over the Balkan wars.
After he bagged the prize, US authorities charged him with a transaction in violation of US sanctions and issued an arrest warrant.
Fischer travelled often between Europe and Asia, particularly to the Philippines and Japan where he often lived for extended periods.
The one-time American hero grew increasingly vehement in his denunciations of the United States, going on Filipino radio on September 11, 2001 to hail the terrorist attacks as "wonderful news" and launch an anti-Jewish tirade.
He was detained in July as he tried to fly out of Narita airport near Tokyo for Manila on his revoked US passport.
The United States had called on Japan to hand over Fischer and urged Iceland not to accept him.
In detention, his supporters said he became haggard, growing a long beard and losing weight. He was put in solitary confinement for four days earlier this month over a brawl with guards aboutan egg.
He also became engaged in detention to Miyoko Watai, the head of the Japan Chess Association, who said she would move to Iceland with him.
After eight months in limbo and calls from the United States for his extradition, Iceland on Monday made him a citizen - setting the stage for him to start a new life.
