When it comes to prizes, Alfred Nobel has nothing on Bobby Fischer. Sure, you have to end a war or cure a disease or solve some esoteric problem in particle physics, but it’s a sure bet that every year at least six people — often more — will get some face-time with the king of Sweden for winning a Nobel. By contrast, the lucrative bonus that comes with matching Bobby’s epic 11-0 sweep in the 1963-64 U.S. national championship has been offered every year since 2009 and not a single player has come close to claiming the Fischer Prize.
