I recommend The Guardian's Bobby Fischer obituary for the story of a truly remarkable life, written by a fellow chess player.
I also recommend Prefab Sprout's debut album Swoon, from which Cue Fanfare is taken. It's raw but dazzlingly intelligent and ambitious (a bit like Bobby Fischer I guess), and it's probably my favourite Prefab Sprout album.

Yes, you beat me to it as well. I'm a fan of Bobby Fischer (albeit a somewhat ambivalent one) and a head-over-heels, drooling-in-love fan of Swoon. Have a look at my blog if you'd like to see my post on Bobby Fischer.
Listen to iliketrains - a rook house for bobby. Entire song dedicated to B.Fischer.
thanks anonymous, bit esoteric for me though
