Chess genius Bobby Fischer is alive and not so well, according to recent visitors. Friends say he is haunted by sleeplessness and paranoia. Said one, he is all but immobilized by “psychological bondage” to the World-Wide Church of God, the wealthy Pasadena-based fundamentalist church headed by TV evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong and his son, Garner Ted. The troubled chess master is living in the basement of a WCG official's home in Pasadena.
