FISCHER ESTATE UP FOR SETTLEMENT

The 7-year old daughter of the late Bobby Fischer may settle for a share of the estate left by the chess icon with Ms. Miyoko Watai, his long-time partner.

Jinky Young's lawyers, Samuel Estimo and Rudy Tacorda, have been talking to
Watai's lawyer, Arni Vilhjalmsson, and prospects are high that a settlement at the Private Administration level of the Probate Division, Office of the Reykjavik District Commissioner, can be forged by Fischers' heirs.

This means that Fischer's daughter and his Japanese intimate friend may split the 1.07 million Brittish Pound deposited in the Landbanski Is., gold deposits and possible royalties from a film soon to be made on the chess legend's life.

Birna Salome Bjornsdottir,Reykjavik Deputy District Commissioner, has confirmed to Estimo that the claims of the heirs can be settled in a private administration to be conducted by her office, after all supporting documents have been submitted..If no agreement has been reached, the matter will be elevated to the courts, which may require digging up Fischer's tomb for possible DNA testing..

" Bobby will not like to get up and play another round of chess after he had already resigned that's why we will settle for a draw in the endgame over his estate," Estimo said.
