— At this point in Fischer's life, he's been gaslighted by Soviet Press, manipulated out of the world chess title through politics, instead of fair chess play. He's been manipulated into becoming the subject of a defamatory book by Brad Darrach who had a long-running history of defamation and unethical journalism. The Soviets and Icelandic chess federation manipulated Chester Fox filing a $3.2 million lawsuit against Fischer for an agreement he never made over film rights. Fischer has been financially swindled by Stanley Rader, the Worldwide Church of God's attorney. Fischer was also swindled by the cult's doctrines of terror which he believed since around 1962. Now, he's being pulled into the drama brewing between Rader/Armstrong and church dissidents. At this point everyone is playing “tug of war” with Fischer's mind, and since the charges were dropped (according to New York Times), there's no reason to believe Fischer did any of the things accused by Mrs. Ruiz. For a person on the Autism Spectrum, this scenario Fischer has had forced upon him in his life, would be utterly devastating. When it feels like the world is conspiring against you… All he wanted to do, was to play chess, but somehow people have always found a way to destroy his ambitions through politics and religion and the abuse of mass media to achieve those ends.
