It Takes A World Champion

Who will it be in chess to dominate and illuminate the game of chess? Certainly it is an international game unlike American football so big and powerful here in the United States. Our American player now a legend but long past his prime and passed on not too many years ago made chess somewhat more known in America but Bobby Fischer shown through his game that America could still be a power of intellect and prestige. The nation who can shine in the ranking and ratings of the game of chess will in my mind be an important industrial economic status nation much in the same manner when Rome or the Romans were a power in which their game they dominated in was not in chess but in the arena of the gladiator and the tiger. I'm far from being an expert on this game but correct me if I am far off base but didn't the Christian have a fighting chance if he could slay a tiger in the arena with his sword or given weapon against the tiger either that or he would be the loser and thrown to the tigers if he lost to be consumed. When Bobby Fischer did dominate over Boris Spassky in chess was not the turning point in the super power status in terms of military might apparent? Please note the correlation between military might and the technology necessary to develop such weaponry and the games these super power nations have at their deposal. You may ask what sort of credentials do I have in the power and use of nuclear weapons to sustain a super status nation such as the United States in terms of a comment with the games we play known as chess. How can I possibly compare a game of chess having anything to do with a nations with weapons of power and mass destruction? What could a mere mortal such as myself know of nuclear power? I am aware of what nuclear power is as well as millions of other of my fellow Americans. And I was told who the father of the nuclear bomb is in fact I spoke to him on a major radio station not knowing who he was or is at that time he was a guest speaker but that I did know he was an important guest speaker on the Ronn Owens radio show here in the San Francisco area. Yes his name is Edward Teller father to the hydrogen bomb but he did amused us by saying that he never did get a father's day card from a nuclear bomb. He too like Bobby Fischer has since past on due to natural causes but yes you ask what does this all mean? This story will continue it cannot and will not die. Do I get nervous when we speak of a nuclear....sorry I do get so carried away I shall stay with the game of chess of which I know so much better. But yes I lived through the Cuban crisis when Russia came close to America with their nuclear weapons aboard their ships and was there nerves galore? You can bet there was.
