MANILA (Reuters) - A Filipino woman and her daughter are claiming a share of the estate of late American-born chess legend Bobby Fischer, a lawyer said on Wednesday.
"I have with me a copy of the passports, pictures and bank accounts of Fischer's seven-year-old daughter," Estimo said, adding he would file a claim in Iceland.
"I believe we have substantial proof to back the claims of Marilyn Young and her daughter Jinky. They even stayed with him in Iceland for three weeks in September 2005."
Fischer became a Cold War icon when he beat Boris Spassky of the then Soviet Union to become world champion in 1972, but he later became a fierce critic of his homeland.
