Fischer, the genius chess player, and Ungar, the genius poker/gin player. Considered prodigies, at their peak, there were only few, if any, that could rival their abilities. Unfortunately, both suffered tragic downfalls near the end. Fischer died alone, with no love life, nor kids. Although he lived till 64. Ungar suddenly died in a hotel/motel room at a young age of 45 due to heart disease brought on by years of cocaine/crack abuse. He had two daughters whom he loved very much. Both had money they made from their careers, but both died with almost nothing. Ungar made around $30 million dollars from his Poker days, only to burn it all away on gambling, like horse racing, and drugs. He had only $800 to his name when he died.
