NEARLY two years after Bobby Fischer’s death, his tangled personal life is being sorted out in an Icelandic court.
When Fischer died near Reykjavik in January 2007, he left an estate estimated at more than $2 million — and no will. Most of the money came from his biggest payday — his 1992 defeat of Boris Spassky in their “world championship rematch.”
Since Fischer was so secretive, it was unclear who had a claim to his inheritance.
His sister Joan, his first chess opponent, died before him. But her two sons, Bobby’s nephews, were the only known relatives by blood.
However, a Japanese Chess Federation official, Miyoko Watai, presented an Aug. 17, 2004, marriage certificate to prove she wed Bobby while he was jailed in a complex visa dispute. Watai said then she had been living with Fischer since 2000.
An Icelandic court upheld Watai’s claim last week. But a Filipino woman, Marilyn Young, said she had been living with Fischer when he visited the Philippines.
Young added that she and Bobby had a daughter, Jinky, now 8, who has a claim on the $2 million. Iceland’s supreme court is likely to end up sorting it all out.

They should give all the money to jackass lawyers.
You are too boring with that lunatic.
I hope his daughter is well taken care of. She needs is the most.
Correction: Bobby died January 17, 2008.
Bobby died 15 years ago. His body was possessed by the soul of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street and sometimes by the soul of Eva Peron.
Bobby was the best!
If the DNA test proves +ve then the court should put money in a trust for Jinky.
Jinky young is not a real daughter of Bobby fischer, I have proof, a picture of marilyn young, her live in partner and jinky young.
I suggest to the court of Iceland to pursue a DNA testing. They don’t deserve to get the estate of ficher. Bobby fischer don’t know about it.
