Ugh. I'm reluctant to take seriously any article on Bobby Fischer that uses the Ginzburg "interview" as a source for info about Bobby. That "interview" was nothing more than a libelious shitfest full of quotes ether taken out of context or pulled from thin air, written by a journalist who was less interested in truth than in sensationalism.
I found this good article about Fischer, an attempt to diagnose him. It also explains why chess is detrimental to mental health. FIDE should be providing mental health support for all players.
