Bobby Fischer was an American chess prodigy and grandmaster, widely regarded as one of the greatest chess players of all time. Born in 1943 in Chicago, Illinois, Fischer gained international attention in 1958 as a teenager when he won the US Chess Championship, becoming the youngest-ever champion at that time. In 1972, Fischer defeated Boris Spassky to become the first American World Chess Champion.
