In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore the life of Bobby Fischer, the brilliant yet deeply troubled chess champion. Drawing from a compelling biography, we trace Fischer’s journey from a child prodigy to a world champion, analyzing his extraordinary talent, his struggles with authority, and the personal contradictions that defined him. We also examine the mental health challenges that shadowed his later years—his erratic behavior, isolation, and controversial statements—raising speculation about conditions like paranoid schizophrenia, delusional disorder, and OCD. Finally, we discuss his legal battles, financial struggles, and the tragic decline of one of history’s greatest minds. Join us as we explore the genius and madness of Bobby Fischer.
