      The final resting place?

      Bobby Fischer, Iceland, Laugardælir


      I just received this picture (Laugardælir church in the town of Laugardælir) from one of the posters on this blog. It states that this is where Bobby Fischer was burried. Can anyone confirm this picture?

        It’s sad that the best chess player ever has “final resting place” so long away of his native country where he was born.
        By the way, he had a good health half year ago. What happened in the meantime?

        Rest in peace, dear Bobby – we will always remember you!
        And please bear in mind – there are million people out there (mainly in Europe and Asia) who share your views on the criminal role of foreign US policy…
