It was in 1972 that Fischer won the World Championship. Three years later, he resigned his title. I was child at this time and could not figure out why he gave up. I still can't. And most chess players don't know either. But I was already attracted (or addicted) to chess. I could not play in tournaments due to schoolwork (I completed high school in three years). My study of the game was limited to books from the library and play was limited to blitz games.
After high school I made the time to play in tournaments. I also began correspondence chess a few years later. In 1992 I was awarded the coveted title of Correspondence Candidate Master by the United States Chess Federation (USCF). At the same time I also held the title of Expert in the Correspondence Chess League of America (CCLA).
My peak rating at www.chess.com is 2352, the highest in any website I've been involved.
