Even little Oscar de la Fuenta's Moves Aren't Safe from Being Used in the Soviet's Propaganda War
Instead of focusing on young Oscar Fuenta's day in the limelight and chess exhibition, Soviet hacks for hire, lackeys speckled throughout worldwide media were busy manufacturing an all-out smear and defamation campaign against Robert Fischer, painting him as wrong to make legitimate complaints, while the Soviets were throwing up obstacles at every possible opportunity, and in the press desperately hoping to convince the world (the “bandwagon” argument fallacy) that people around the world really didn't want to see Robert Fischer “whip that G#*@% Russian,” which was actually the case. The 1972 hysteria over the match was due entirely to the fact, that the majority of the world really did dislike the tyrannical Soviet Union, THAT MUCH, and savored the hope of witnessing Soviet arrogance taken down a few notches by the young Robert Fischer. Moscow is desperately attempting to portray Mr. Fischer as “touched” and “a prima donna” and “disturbed” and a vicious onslaught of personal character defamation, as the Soviet throws up its obstacles to demoralize young Mr. Fischer who clearly has no intention of letting up to those bureaucrats, off the board.
