re: #355 Sergey Romanov

Fischer was clearly a Christian.

He “joined the Worldwide Church of God in the mid-1960s. This church prescribed Saturday Sabbath, and forbade work (and competitive chess) on Sabbath. Fischer’s religious obligations were respected by chess organizers, concerning scheduling of his games. Fischer contributed significant money over several years to the Worldwide Church of God.”

Here is a picture of his tombstone with a big Christian cross on it.
