Wilderness years

A picture of Bobby Fischer dating back to his “wilderness years” (from 1972 to 1992), when like a zombie he’d been staring at his private murals in a basement at Pasadena, surrounded by bigots and religious fanatics.

Los Angeles County, California, likely early 90s. Fischer, with a white beard, is seated at centre. Photo courtesy of Bobby Fischer.
