Yeah you could be right there Web...I did some surfing and there were few women in his life except for his mother...there was this woman in Iceland claiming he was the father of her child...but that was probably about money..what a lonely life for Bobby..
There was also a girl from japan who also blackmailed him...what a life..
In love with himself one might say.

He had fun with a lady that sold some services according to Pawn Sacrifice.
Pawn Sac sucked. How depressing. Bobby wasn't that depressing, he usually had a smile and at least tried to have a sense of humor. Watch him on the Dick Cavett show, plus about any other interviews. He essentially had a Japanese wife and maybe a long time Filipina gf. From his mid 40's to the end of his life, he probably lived more than most.
I had a book by an English author mainly about 1972 but in it was the alleged quote from 1967
"Girls are a waste of time".

LOL, he was the boss of brooklyn!
There's no evidence that I'm aware of for any Fischer romantic relationships before he won the world championship.
He reportedly had a year-long relationship with Petra Stadler in Germany circa 1990, but a couple of years later she married another GM. (She would later write a book about him: "Bobby Fischer -- Wie er wirklich ist -- Ein Jahr mit dem Schachgenie." Perhaps some of our German forum members have read it.)
In 1992 there was 17-year-old Zita Rajcsanyi, a chess player and Fischer fan from Hungary. With a 30 year age gap she wasn't looking for an intimate relationship, but he started referring to her to friends as his girlfriend and even fiance. She was instrumental in helping him make the 1992 Spassky rematch in Yugoslavia happen. At the start of the match she told a reporter she wasn't planning to marry Fischer but she was attracted to his honesty, "I like geniuses or crazy people." When she later declined his (repeated) wedding proposals, he didn't take it well.
Starting in 2000 he started shuttling between Tokyo and the Philippines on just under three month schedule (due to legal residency time limits). During this time he was on intimate terms with both Miyoko Watai (president of the Japanese Chess Association) and Marilyn Young. A few months after their relationship started, Young announced that she was pregnant and the baby was Bobby's. He paid child support for the remainder of his life but a posthumous DNA test showed the child wasn't his. The Fischer estate lawsuits in Iceland concluded with a ruling that Watai's marriage certificate -- obtained two months after Japanese authorities had thrown him in the slammer for traveling on a revoked passport -- was legally valid and that she was entitled to his estate.

Bobby Fischer had horrible taste for women.
I just finished rereading Brady's Endgame and I have to disagree.
By everything I've seen and read Zita Rajcsanyi was nice, smart, cute, and frankly entirely too good for him.
Similary, everything I've seen indicates Miyoko Watai truly loved him. Brady's book cites Icelander opinions that Watai and Fischer were like an long-married couple that obviously loved each other. If Fischer had been able to conquer his fear of modern medicine perhaps they could have enjoyed many more years together.
Informative posts tygorius...i could not find much on the internet...thanks...

Fear of modern medicine? He was scared the doctors were gonna kill him on purpose.
That logic was stupid tho, you are gonna die anyways so why not die trying?
Fischer had been in a relationship with Miyako Watai, president of japanese chess ascociation, for 4 years. They planned to marry, but they failed because of Fischer immigration issue. That was a sad love story
He married the white queen on his chess set. lol Actually, he was in love with a Hungarian girl, at one time, but she dumped him. Then he had an Asian girlfriend after that.

You never really get completely used to it. :/
Fischer had two Icelandic girl friends during the 1972 match against Spassky

What about Fischers Love Life...is there anything known about that...Was he ever in love..
or was he just alone and lonely all the time..that would explain a lot of strange behaviour...
Being alone and madness is never a good combination coz you never stand corrected
