孤独地对抗全世界(上)(3)
拉吉克桑伊,在童年时期内门伊经常造访他家并带他出去玩。雷吉娜甚至在内门伊1952年去世的当口子写信给他的长子询问其是否为鲍比留下什么遗产:“鲍比已经病了两天,他发烧且喉咙疼,我们当然请不起医生、买不起药,如果保罗健在,他一定不会对鲍比目前的窘境袖手旁观,所以我很迫切地想要问一下是否保罗为他的孩子留下了什么。”至于雷吉娜不愿承认内门伊是鲍比父亲的原因,她一定是觉得婚外生子对于她的名誉是一个污点。
As the person who introduced chess to Bobby, Joan is that guide the latter should be grateful to. When Bobby was 6 years old, Joan bought a chess set from the nearby toy shop, the two children read the instructions and soon learnt to play it. It didn’t take long before Joan is no match for him, then he expended his circle and soon couldn’t find an equal for himself around. Without any other means, Regina had to resort to the newspaper Brooklyn Eagle to advertize for a rival for her son. In spite of the fact that the newspaper by no means did it for Regina as they had no idea which section the advertisement ought to be put, they were very enthusiastic. The editors introduced Hermann Helms, nicknamed the headmaster of American Chess School, to Regina. Facts proved that Helms is instrumental to Bobby’s development in the field of chess. Once when Max Pavey, the former national champion of Scotland, came to America to play exhibition games, Fischer, in Helms’ help, obtained the opportunity to be one among many players in the tag match with him. The 7-year-old Fischer insisted on 15 minutes and drew huge crowds, even though he lost eventually. Among the audience there was one person called Carmine Nigro, he is the president of Brooklyn Chess Club. As Bobby’s superb skill impressed him, he soon enlisted the young boy and instruct him in person. As to his first teacher Nigro in childhood, Fischer rated like this, “Perhaps Mr. Nigro is not the best chess player in the world, he is an excellent teacher, it may be a determinant for me to improve my chess skills encountering him.” Without doubt, Bobby gets the gene from his parents and is a high IQ boy, this makes him a lone wolf isolated from his peers and a problem student at school. As a result of making trouble incessantly and beating the headmaster, Bobby was expelled from school. His mother began to feel a little worried about his future: without a college diploma, my son will be unable to get a decent job, without a job, he can’t support himself, even if Bobby is an excellent chess player, he is not free from being marginalized, then what should he do? But not long afterwards, Regina’s worrying dissipated.
