Draw to Win

In his biographical curriculum vitae, 石井一二 (Ichiji Ishii), former Vice Foreign Minister of Japan and President of Kioi Chess Club based in Tokyo, proudly claims to be one of the last few people to have played (and drawn) 11th World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer (likely in the early 2000s, to judge from the picture). 渡井 美代子 (Miyoko Watai), Fischer’s Japanese companion, appears to be sitting in the left background.
