Fischer Pinay heir bares claim

February 22, 2008

A Filipino woman and her daughter are claiming a share of the estate of late American-born chess legend Bobby Fischer, a lawyer said. S. Estimo told Reuters he was gathering documents and evidence to prove that Fischer had a daughter with Marilyn Young in 2001. He said the reclusive chess master had left a $1.95 million estate. I have with me a copy of the passports, pictures and bank accounts of Fischers seven-year-old daughter Jinky, Estimo said, adding he would file a claim in Iceland. Fischer, who died last month, had renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to Iceland in 2005. Two nephews and a Japanese woman, who claimed to have married the reclusive chess master, are also contesting Fischers estate. Washington was also trying to recover money from Fischer in back taxes, Estimo said.
