MANILA, PHILIPPINES---Prospects are getting brighter for Jinky Young, Bobby Fischer's 7- year old child, to recover the deceased chess icon's estate deposited in an Icelandic bank estimated at 1.07 million pounds.
Lawyers Samuel Estimo and Rudy Tacorda, representing Jinky's mother, Marilyn, have completed their documentary and object evidences in support of the claim. They include two handwritten notes sent to Jinky last year where the chess legend affixed the word, "Daddy," and acknowledged her as his child.
The estate of Fischer could include stockholdings in companies in Iceland. According to Marilyn, Fischer left her instruction to get in touch with a chess Grand master- friend who possibly holds the key to these assets. Grandmaster Eugene Torre is now helping Marilyn locate this person to whom Fischer supposedly entrusted several details about his estate.
Its public knowledge how Fischer kept secrets, some of which he might have brought to his grave. Little is known about his own secret "guerilla" burial which he had arranged before his death. Not even the minister in whose churchyard the grave was dug in secret under cover of darkness knew about Fischer's last getaway.
"Marilyn is a kind- hearted woman and she is willing to share Fischer's estate with Miyoko Watai , the late chess great's alleged widow. She knows Miyoko was very close to Fischer,"Estimo said.
