BOBBY FISCHER LECTURE 27 OCTOBER

The most controversial and colourful 11th World Champion Robert James (or fondly known as Bobby) Fischer is the main reason why chess flourished throughout the world from the 1970s. The man has almost single-handedly toppled the Soviet chess hegemony with his unstoppable talent and dogged determination by defeating Boris Spassky in 1972 at Reykjavik Iceland. The match would have ended at game 2 but Fischer overcame the odds being 2 games down to win the match 11.5-8.5. Come and celebrate the Fischer era with FIDE Trainer Bradley Loh as he uncorks the most astonishing moves made by the American chess genius. We start 8pm at the Conference Room.
