Well, "confused" must be Soltis' kind, and subservient, way to put it, but this is just one more piece of evidence of how rude (and in this case probably also racist) Fischer was. I wonder if he wrote "A Jew" when he played Botvinnik or "A black guy" whenever he played any.

My last name is Sana, and it annoys me when, in tournaments, my opponent handles me their scoresheet and asks me to write down my name. Do they forget a freaking four-letter name on the walk from the round pairings board to the playing table? As a sign of respect, I always remember or write down my opponents name. Worst I've done was to ask GM Kidambi Sundararajan to confirm that I had spelled his name correctly, but first I gave it a try, I didn't ask him to be my secretary.

Im glad you've shown your complete ignorence of the story.

Yes here the racist part:

<(and in this case probably also racist) >

Your words not mine.

Ignorance refers to your lack of knowledge of the facts

All the writing was in Cyrillic so Fischer could not just read wall charts or signs to get the name.
He asked the guy but he couldn’t speak English.

I would assume there was a rule that your score sheet had to be filled out. (he assumed “A Mongolian” would do until the officials were brought into the mix later)

My guess is had the same circumstances happened with an “Italian“, “A German“. He would have done the same thing.

You also brought up your experience with your own name. I would suggest you bring that up with them.

My points are simple:
Know what you are talking about.
(before you start implying racism)
Don’t blame Fischer for the way your opponents treat you.

Take a pan covered by some white sauce. Take two or three nutmeg and green cabbages, making a paste,; let it froth; secondly, sprinkle into a cordial, and put them back in milk to make a mustard-spoonful of chopped herbs, a man to it with salt, pepper. Put all the barley in it.

THE CALF IN PARADISE

Now lay them well in the pan a moment and let it in with the shovel.
