What happened to Fischer in 1956?

I think it is well known that Fischer improved super dramatically from a little strong amateur level to professional level in 1956, but I have no idea what happened to him as a 13 year old in 1956. Even if it was a combination of hard work, the speed of improvement is too dramatic, and even if his talent was rapidly unleashed, I am wondering why it was that year... I wonder if there was something that unleashed his chess talent in 1956 after all... if you know anything about him at that time...If you know anything about him at that time, I would appreciate it if you could write to me. Also, if you do not know much about him at that time, I would be glad if you could write your prediction. I apologize for the long post.

If you ask me, that's true.

Look Up Bobby Fischer's Tournaments and Matches by Bill Wall ... Looks-Like Hard Work finnaly started paying off in 1855-1956-1957 although Fischer remarked that at age 11 "He just got Good at age 11 in 1954) There was an extensive Study of Chess @tyangun ... bill Wall gives extensive Details on his adversaries

One Also has to remember two other statements Fischer made ... he learned Chess in 1948 & was serious at age 7 in 1950 ,,, so he studied chess for three years before his first USCF Tournament & Kept Studying Chess'

Yep, it was when he was 11 that (according to him) he "got good."

He learned Russian and studied their books. That is one thing I know. He would read a book every morning at a restaurant as well.

In an interview he said he became really good really fast in that year. Put it down to reading and studying a lot. Talent and hard work is always the secret to success.

Easy, talent. Nothing more. Sometimes it takes a while for things to click into place, but it is a case of you either have the natural potential for something or you don't. Just so happens that Fischer had that natural talent.

"... The level at which one plays is governed by a number of vague and poorly understood factors. The first is what one might term 'natural talent'. ... It is my belief that ... considerable improvement is possible [(for most players)] with appropriate education, training and practice. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
