I think he might be Bobby Fischer.

<P>I'm quite certain that he is not. For one thing, the latest news on Bobby Fischer's website is that he is in jail in Tokyo, Japan. But the best reason why they aren't the same person is that 'Robert Fischer' is arguing against Reinhard Scharnagl's proposal for a randomized Capablanca variant on the grounds that so many permutations may create bad game pollution. Bobby Fischer has himself invented his own randomized Chess variant, Fischer Random Chess, and so it seems very unlikely that he would now be arguing against another randomized game in a manner that applies just as much to his own game.</P>
