   From [1]Chess Today:

     According to a BBC report, Robert James Fischer has died in
     Iceland, aged only 64. He had health problems for quite some time.
     Many considered Fischer as the greatest chess player ever. His 1972
     match against Boris Spassky gave chess a huge boost in the west and
     encouraged millions of people to learn chess.

   More about Fischer, and links to other reports and tributes, as they
   show up.
