Tim Krabbé also took notice of the "The Great Annotated Empty Moving Boxes
Robbery"? He finds the story "heartbreakingly funny, on a par with I was
tortured at the Pasadena Jailhouse".

Krabbé is, in an awkward sarcastic way, disappointed in Fischer:
"Vintage Fischer - except that one word is shockingly missing - Jew.
One thing I never thought Bobby Fischer would be capable of is hypocrisy. He
has always spoken his mind, no matter how offensive people might think that
was. In approximately 21 radio interviews he gave over the last few years,
there were hardly ten consecutive words in which he wasn't persecuted by a
world-wide conspiracy of dirty, hooknosed, circumcised Jews who were
*******s, criminals, parasites, liars, thieves and murderers. Bob Ellsworth,
allegedly involved in the mega-robbery, was "a dirty secret Jew, worthy of
death" - and now, when Fischer needs the Budapest police to help him get
back his treasures, the Jewish conspiracy had evaporated and the criminal
Janos Rigo is a straight-nosed gentile?
I have never been so disappointed in Bobby Fischer."
Calling Fischer a hypocrite because he isn't anti-Semitic? That's a bit
farfetched humour, in my opinion. Peter van der Hoog
