Once it hits video I highly recommend watching Bobby Fischer Against the World. I'll have to read this book even though the author of the article points out that he wishes there was more meat on the early life of Bobby. In the movie, his life was pretty depressing to see. Much like other child prodigies who have a great beginning, years down the road you're wondering what ever happened to them. His awkwardness and ignorance had to have a great affect. I imagine a lot of it came from not having a father figure (or guidance in general) and becoming entirely consumed by chess at such a young age. He really closed himself off in his own world.
