Century SC
Final Exam Constructed Response Prompt
Bobby Fischer
Robert James Fischer was born Chicago, but unlocked the secrets of chess in a
Brooklyn apartment right above a candy store. At the age of six, he taught himself
to play by following the instruction booklet that came with his chess board. After
spending much of his childhood in chess clubs, Fischer said that, “One day, I just got
good." That may be a bit of an understatement. At the age of 13, he won the U. S.
Junior Chess Championship, becoming the youngest Junior Champion ever. At the
age of 14. he won the U. S. Championship and became the youngest U. S. Champion
in history: Fischer would go on to become the World Champion of chess, but he
would also grow to become his own worst enemy. Instead of defending the title, he
forfeited it to the next challenger without even making a move, and the rise of a
chess superstar ended with a fizzle.
