IN a bizarre twist to the battle for the estate left by the late chess legend Bobby Fischer, lawyer Sammy Estimo revealed that the remains of the chess icon will be exhumed soon.
Estimo, lawyer of Fischer’s Filipino child, Jinky Young, said that Judge Sigrun Gudmundsdottir of the Icelandic probate court found no DNA samples of Fischer at the National Hospital in Iceland where the ex-world champion died on January 17, 2008 of renal failure.
Because of this development, Estimo and his collaborating Icelandic lawyer, Thordur Bogason, were left with no other recourse but to request the court to issue an order for the exhumation of Bobby’s remains for DNA samples to be tested with the blood samples extracted from Jinky when she went to Iceland in December last year.
UPDATE (1 April): The Manila Bulletin has the article here.

It is really all about the (his) money isn't it?
maybe its really about a secret plan to clone him!
its most likely eugene and sammy manipulating everything and trying to squeeze as much doe as they can out of the dead fisher.
its the philippines, nothing has changed.
Everyone is fighting for a share of the money. Did he not leave any will?
Wills unfortunately can be challenged in court and there are a lot of lawyers who happily take on this type of work and often agree to a percentage of the take as opposed to a fee!
my next point, why did this girl not secure the future of her alleged child with Fischer while the man was still alive? And Fischer himself did not leave a will to provide for the child he sired?
@Jimmy= Simply because Jinky is not a real child of Fischer. I know Marilyn Young very well. Let's just wait on the DNA testing result.. Besides it's very clear on physical appearance of this child that she has a whole blood of Filipino! Damn this Marilyn Young! Stop it! We know the TRUTH! Respect Bobby's GRAVE.
