"in Santiago de Chile, the organizers kindly
invited his
mother along with him, but that was a serious mistake, it turned
out.
Straight upon arrival, Bobby demanded a map of the town and a
pair of
compasses. He asked to be shown the location of the hotel, where
he put
the compass-point, then he drew a wide circle and said: 'this
woman
shall not enter this circle'. He had put the fear of God into
organizers
even then, for his mother was kept away from him. During the
tournament,
other participants frequently heard the voice of a crying woman
on the
telephone, at which they quickly hung up."

It does not look like Fischer was left alone too often!
