Bobby Fischer- The Emperor of Chess

Bobby Fischer was born on March 9th 1943 at 2:39 P.M. in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. and died on January 18th 2008. He was a very controversial figure because of his anti-semetic views and strange lifestyle. However, in this artile I am only going to focus on his chess ability and his style from an astrological point of view.

What were the factors in his kundali that made him unbeatable? Why was his chess so simple and easy to understand? Why did he choose chess as his battle ground? I have studied his chart and I would like to share it with you.

You can pull up his Vedic chart by the above information I have given you.

First of all he was born in Karka lagna with Chandra placed in Mesh rashi in Ashwini Nakshatra in the 10th house. The 10th house in any Kundali rules public image and professional limelight. Since Mesh rashi is a very fiery and combative sign Fischer's emotional nature was always ready for battle. He was ever ready for War. Chandra being placed in Ashwini Nakshatra made him very outspoken and honest. He was always very straightforward and upfront. Ashwini Nakshatra in astrology is classified as a Dev Nakshatra and hence his emotional nature was pure.

Secondly, the dispositor of chandra (ruler of the rashi in which Chandra is placed) is very strong. Mangal is the graha that gives combative ability and he is very strongly placed in Makar rashi. This single placement is the Key to his entire chart. Mangal in Makar rashi gives the ability to plan, organize and execute attacks to perfection. Just look at some of his chess games and you will notice how easily he destroys his opponents. No fancy schemes or cheap tactics, just perfect planning and execution. Mangal is a very auspicious graha for Karka Lagna and thus whereever he is located and also whereever his dristi (aspect) is all of those areas prosper. Mangal has dristi on the 7th house (relationships- in his case with his and his opponents' chess pieces), 10th house (his own public image and career), 1st house (forceful and dynamic personality), and 2nd house (the highest earning chess player during his time).

I have singled out just these 2 areas in his kundali which contributed to his greatness. Due to heredity he had a I.Q. which was over 180 and this also contributed to his chess success.
