There are currently rumors that Bobby Fischer is secretly playing chess on the internet.

Nigel Short, the British grandmaster who in 1993 was the official challenger to Garry Kasparov, disclosed that Fischer has emerged from self-imposed exile.

Nigel reports that he has played nearly 50 speed chess games against Fischer in the last year.

"I am 99 percent sure that I have been playing against the chess legend. It's tremendously exciting,"
Short who is one of the best players in the world lost his first game against Fischer 8-0.
