Bobby Fischer : An Eccentric Genius

Image
Some say there has never been a chess player as great as Bobby Fischer. A leading Russian opponent described him as “an Achilles without an Achilles heel”. Fischer was not only known for being a chess genius but also for spiraling into insanity. This is the remarkable true story of Bobby Fischer arguably the greatest genius chess has ever seen.     Robert James  Fischer was born in Chicago on March 9, 1943, and raised in Brooklyn by a single mother from Switzerland born to Jewish parents. They were poor. Regina Fischer didn’t even have the money to patch up Bobby's torn shoes when he was a kid. Regina was divorced from Hans Gerhardt Fischer, a German biophysicist.

Sun Kissed My Skin

 It was started with a small white patch on my head when I was 5 years old and it spread throughout my body. You'll be wondering what am I actually writing about. It's about vitiligo. Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin. It's caused by the lack of melanin, which is the pigment in the skin.

Matriculation Life During Pandemic

Its been almost 12 days that I have departed from my matriculation life. Although my house warm and cozy I still prefer my life in the hostel. I continued my higher-level education at Perak Matriculation College. It's a big college with beautiful sceneries and a lot of staircases. Remember if you get Perak Matriculation you have to walk a lot. Apart from that, it's been a hectic roller coaster ride with a lot of memories and lessons. I've learned a lot from my mistakes and my friend's mistakes.      August 3rd, 2020 is my first day in college. A lot of students from different states were there. I was a bit terrified and nervous but I am used to it. I unpacked my things and arranged them in a bad way actually because I don't have experience in moving into a new place. It took almost 3 hours to arrange my stuff but still didn't get them properly. There were 3 roomies with me. I love them so much even though most of the time I was not in the room. There were very g...
