      Breaking News: Fischer’s daughter inheritance

      Bobby Fischer, Inheritance


      Fischer heiress to get share of P140-M estate soon
      Philippine Daily Inquirer
      First Posted 02:52:00
      06/05/2008

      MANILA, Philippines—Jinky Young, the late Bobby Fischer’s Filipino child, will soon receive her share of the estate left by the chess icon estimated at P140 million, excluding gold deposits and royalty from the movie, “Bobby Fischer Goes to War.”

      This was disclosed by lawyers Sammy Estimo and Rudy Tacorda after getting word from Reykjavik, Iceland that the Probate Court had already received the claim folder of Jinky Young.

      The deadline for receiving claims to the estate of the deceased chess legend was May 17, or three months after Fischer died on January 17, 2008 of renal failure.

      Estimo said that Fischer had contacted him and Grandmaster Eugene Torre in 1984 while he was in an airport prison cell in Japan and had wanted to become a Filipino citizen to be with his child and common-law wife, Marilyn.

      But Estimo advised him not to push through with his plan because it was in the Philippines that Fischer’s passport was cancelled.

      With the help of some Icelandic chess friends, Fischer was able to obtain an Icelandic passport and was flown out of Japan in March 2005.

      Jinky Young and her mother linked up with Bobby in Iceland in September 2005 but that was the last time the three of them lived together as one small family. But Fischer kept in touch with them through daily calls via mobile phones. The late chess legend also sent them monthly euro remittances.

        The year 1984 in this report obviously should be 2004.

        At current exchange rates, that’s about $3.5 million.

        “May 17, or three months after Fischer died on January 17”

        Huh? Is this chess math?

        The USCF accounting department did the math. May – Jan – 3. Most people get 4. But then most people do not lose money as easy as the USCF. Bill Goichberg’s accounting department rules the chess world.

        Thank God! Righteous. Jinky Young is the rightful recipient of Bobby Fischer’s estate, she is his daughter.

        I wonder how much Estimo got for all this. He probably robbed the kid and her mother half blind. That guy is such a criminal.

        Lafferty and Roberts will be running after the money.

        Stay tuned.
