MANILA, Philippines - GM Eugene Torre and the Filipino common-law wife and child of the late Bobby Fischer will appear in a documentary being filmed by BBC-HBO on the life of the world’s greatest chess player.
Matthew Justus, co-producer of the project, invited Torre, Marilyn and Jinky Young to be in New York on the last week of November for the live interviews. They will be accompanied by lawyer and chess official Sammy Estimo to avoid any issues during the sessions, that might affect the ongoing probate proceedings before the court of Reykjavik, Icelend on the claim of Jinky to the estate of her deceased father.
Fischer died of renal failure in Iceland on Jan. 17 last year and left some P140 million and gold deposits in the Landsbanki, one of the biggest banks in Iceland.
A woman claiming to be Fischer’s legal wife and two nephews of the late chess legend had also filed their claims before the Reykjavik court..
