DNA Test Is Said to Prove Bobby Fischer Was Not Girl’s Father

[joeybee12]

A paternity test ordered by the Icelandic Supreme Court to determine if the chess champion Bobby Fischer was the father of a 9-year-old Filipino girl came back negative on Tuesday, according to people involved in the dispute over his estate.

Officials took a sample on July 5 from Mr. Fischer’s remains in the cemetery of Laugardaelir Church in Iceland to determine if he was the father of Jinky Young, the Filipino girl.

Since Mr. Fischer’s death in January 2008, there has been a fight over his estate involving Marilyn Young, Jinky’s mother; Miyoko Watai, a Japanese woman who says she married Mr. Fischer in 2004 and is his widow; and Mr. Fischer’s nephews, Alexander Targ and Nicholas Targ, who live in California.

Arni Vilhjalmsson, the lawyer representing Ms. Watai, said in a telephone interview from Reykjavik that he had the test results in front of him. “I can confirm that the results of the biological D.N.A. tests were that it is impossible that Mr. Fischer was the father of this child,” he said.

1. Hell, you could easily tell that by noting that she

never really mastered the Petrov Defense.

And she was known for opening with the Scandinavian Defense which is pretty damned useless nowadays.
