One of the world's great minds, chessmaster Bobby Fischer, has run out of moves and was forced to tip over his king, passing away today at age 64 (the same number of squares on a chessboard).

Fischer, considered to be one of the greatest chess players ever, died in a hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland, as the time on his metaphorical chess clock had expired.

Fischer, more than just a pawn in the game of Life (not the actual Milton Bradley game "The Game Of Life"), will be playing his game in the castle in the sky.

Although regrettable, the death of this reclusive American chess player came as no surprise to Russian chessmaster Garry Kasparov, who had calculated several years ago that he would die on this particular day.

"He should've seen this coming," said Kasparov.
