All planets are found within a two-thirds segment of the zodiac well-defined by a functioning trine. It approaches the ideal when the planets are equispaced in the occupied section of the wheel. The functioning trine is necessary.
The planet facing clockwise on the unoccupied segment is the cutting planet and is brought to high focus in the map.

The bundle pattern type withdraws into his trine. The locomotive embraces and manipulates some selected area of experience...inward vs. outward. (The area embraced is found at midpoint of the delimiting trine, in the unoccupied sector.) This type throws the whole of self into everyday experience. He may be unreasonably ambitious, with a strong desire for success. When frustrated he is apt to rebel. Here is a practical reformer. If a grand trine is present the ability of the native to project his personality into the lives of others is enhanced. If the grand trine is accompanied by a T-square that ties into it, the native is likely to have a strong impact on the larger world. T-squares always indicate a general effectiveness of effort.

(Will someone do us the favor of posting his chart here? Thanks.)
Three partile trines in Air.
Mars is cutting, partile conjunct the Descendant in Aquarius. Keyword for Mars in high focus is Indomitable. The 7th house symbolizes competition or performance at the highest level [consider the virtuoso concert pianist...or war].
There is also a Fixed T-square...Mars opposes Pluto at the Ascendant and they square Moon (ultimately Fischer totally rejected his mother and all that she stood for, and was consumed by hate).
In a TV interview Fischer was asked what the high point of a chess match was for him. He replied, "It's the moment in which I know that I have totally destroyed my opponent's ego."
I do not intend to interpret the chart here. But I will point out a few features that deserve attention.
Mars rules Venus, in detriment and partile conjunct the MC; the two planets, while not in zodiacal square, are in mundane square.
Mercury squares Uranus, but the two are not in the same Quality (which is the norm for squares) but instead they share the Air Element. Fischer had a tested IQ of 185.
