The third coming of Bobby Fischer?

Is it a computer? Is it a program? No, it's Bobby Fischer (some wish)

The story captured headlines twenty years ago. Many people believe that Bobby Fischer has returned to chess and was performing miracles on the Internet. Nigel Short said he was "99 per cent sure" he has had played Fischer, author Tim Krabbé, who was initially sceptical, went on to see the light. In September 2001 we took a closer look at the evidence.

There was an obvious answer: only a computer would be able to do what the mysterious ICC Fischer has done on the Internet. In fact it was exactly what you would expect from a fast, tactical program. And we could easily try it out. We asked our readers to load Fritz, Junior, Shredder or Tiger (the best programs at the time), force the first moves of the ICC Fischer player, and then play on against the program. At three minute time controls.
