I also remember that he didn't know the rules - he just learned them to play this game and his opponent was a weak Go player and he thought he would easily win. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this was a first-hand account and I'm looking for a reference on the web. It's almost impossible to find such a thing with keywords like "go" and "Bobby Fischer" as there is so much about his chess. I cannot think of any keywords that narrow this down effectively. But I think I originally saw it on the web. - Don > Adrian > > Don Dailey wrote: > > Does anyone remember an anecdote about Bobby Fischer learning to play > > go?
