Bobby Fischer - Chess Prodigy

Endgame
Though Fischer lost the first game and forfeited the second because he refused to play in front of cameras, which, he said, disturbed him, he quickly regrouped and won 7 of the next 19 games, to become the 11th World Chess Champion. His victory made him an instant celebrity, featured on the covers of Life and Sports Illustrated.
