| sorry, let me qualify ... bfm\'s a great idea, but mr bob himself said that computers have ruined chess, and, be that true or not, i think it\'s an irony that a site with apparently no policy on computer use has a championship in his memory | - |

| I think that the person who oversaw these cc championships has now gone and his job hasn`t been filled. The rtc championship has players entering and winning more than once as well. | - |

Slideshow:Chess Champion Bobby Fischer By GUDJON HELGASON, Associated Press Writer Gudjon Helgason, Associated Press Writer – Mon Jul 5, 9:50 am ET
REYKJAVIK, Iceland – Authorities in Iceland have exhumed the body of American chess champion Bobby Fischer to determine whether he is the father of a 9-year-old girl from the Philippines.
Police district commissioner Olafur Helgi Kjartansson said Fischer\'s corpse was dug up from a cemetery near Selfoss in southern Iceland early Monday in the presence of a doctor, a priest and other officials.
Kjartansson said the exhumation \"was done in a professional and dignified way and according to law. The privacy of the deceased was protected at all times.\"
He said Fischer was reburied after DNA samples were taken.
Fischer died in Iceland in January 2008 aged 64. He left no will, and legal wrangling continues over his estate.
Last month Iceland\'s supreme court ruled Fischer should be exhumed so DNA testing could determine whether he was the father of Jinky Young, whose mother Marilyn says she had a relationship with Fischer.
Jinky, who lives in the Philippines with her mother, flew to Iceland to provide her own blood sample in December.
Fischer, who was born in Chicago and raised in Brooklyn, New York, became world famous in 1972 when he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the world championship in a tournament, played in Reykjavik, that brimmed with Cold War symbolism.
Fischer became an American hero, but his later life was dominated by his erratic, eccentric behavior.
He lost his world title in 1975 after refusing to defend it against Anatoly Karpov. He dropped out of competitive chess and largely out of view, spending time in Hungary and the Philippines and emerging occasionally to make outspoken and often outrageous comments, sometimes attacking the United States.
Fischer was arrested in Japan in 2004 and threatened with extradition to the U.S. to face charges of breaking international sanctions against the former Yugoslavia by playing a chess match there in 1992.
Fischer renounced his U.S. citizenship and spent nine months in custody before chess-loving Iceland granted him citizenship.
Fischer lived in Iceland from 2005 until his death and is buried about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of the capital, Reykjavik. | - |
