Bobby ___, US chess player who was world champion from 1972 to 1975 (7)

I believe the answer is:

fischer

(Other definitions for fischer that I've seen before include "Bobby --, chess champion" , "Genius on board" , "Champion mater" , "one successful on board" , "Bobby ... US chess master" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
