As I have mentioned before in these threads, I will never forget the time at a Christmas tournament in Chicago that Bobby wouldn't walk through the lobby of the tourney hotel and insisted on using the kitchen entrance out back. Apparently the other players were hanging out in the lobby. A pushy reporter asked him why he was doing this. Fischer told him: "I can't take all these chess nuts boasting in an open foyer!" -----------------         ;-)
