Dynasty

Recently, a long article in The Sunday Times reopened the saga of Bobby Fischer’s inheritance (more or less a million and a half pounds sterling). In fact, neither his widow (if she ever was his wife) Miyoko Watai, nor his Filipino daughter Jinky Felonia Young (unless she is the daughter of the Holy Spirit), nor his brother-in-law Russell Targ intend to compromise their claims. The lawyers do not rule out do not rule out exhuming his body for DNA testing, and who knows, perhaps the suspense of a 1972’s vintage film directed by Alfonso Balcázar, An Open Tomb ... An Empty Coffin, will be evoked again in a macabre revival!
