Bobby Fischer's live-in Partner claims rights for daughter Jinky

Wow, just when I thought I knew all the gossip about Bobby Fischer, I guess I don't!  According to published articles, Marilyn Young, Bobby Fischer's live-in Partner in the Philippines had a daughter with the deceased legend.  While paternity hasn't been proven, according to post cards, it seems GM Fischer did acknowledge Jinky Young as his daughter.  There is even an affidavit from Philippine's legendary GM Eugenio Torre, who was Fischer's second at the famous match vs then World Champion Boris Spassky in Reykjavik, Iceland, where Fischer was residing at the time of his death.

 Even after his death, Bobby Fischer still claims headlines in the chess world, that's for sure!  Ms Young has said that she would even allow submission of DNA, who is a minor, born in Baguio City, Philippines in May, 2001.  Whether or not this would require the exhumation of GM Bobby Fischer is unknown to me, or if DNA from him would be available without disturbing his grave.  It seems that Ms Young has some pretty compelling evidence as can be seen on Chessbase.Com at the following url http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=5905  I'm sure there are other sites with other info as well, but this page has pictures of postcards sent to Jinky and Ms Young and I imagine his handwriting is pretty well able to be tested with comparison to the handwriting on the postcards.  But with his Japanese wife, Miyoko Watai, also claiming his estate, we may get to the DNA testing to finalize this case.  I will have to try to keep an eye on this.

 It looks like it takes some good gossip to get me to blog since TransWarp has been offline, I will be able to put her back online in December for sure, I've paid my bills for this month and saving grocery money for the end of the month and sundry items, but December should be fine for at least another 6 month membership for TW.  I doubt it's missed...don't really see any comments on here missing TW, even if I do get TW back online to play and no one really does play it, TransWarp will always be known as the first to break the 4000 blitz rating barrier on ICC. If and when it's time for TransWarp to retire, I hope that will at least be remembered by ICC and the fun it brought with it's pseudo-feud with Smallville and the entertaining games they played as well as great wins by Smallville and other GM's like GM Bassem Amin and GM Shahkriyar Mamedyarov and games with GM Rauf Mamedov as well as many other noteworthy GM's too numerous to name, but a small list is in the archives, but some recent players haven't been added to that list, I'm not sure, but just in case he's not named, the 2009 World Junior Champion, GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, has played TransWarp as well, ICC handle "Mateus", those who are ICC members can always do "search Transwarp mateus" without the quotes in the main command line to see those games.
