Chess champion Bobby Fischer not Philippines girl's father

London, Aug 18 (ANI): A DNA sample taken from the remains of Bobby Fischer has revealed that the chess champion is not the father of a nine-year-old girl from the Philippines, said a lawyer in Iceland.he mother of Jinky Young said she had a relationship with the chess star.

Jinky, who lives in the Philippines with her mother, Marilyn, flew to Iceland last year to provide her own sample.

Fischer died in Iceland at the age of 64 in January 2008.

He left no will, and legal cases over who has the right to the US-born player's estate are ongoing.

"The DNA report excluded Bobby Fisher from being the father of Jinky Young, and therefore the case has come to a close," the Telegraph quoted Thordur Bogason, a Reykjavik-based lawyer who represents Jinky, as saying.

Fischer became world famous in 1972 when he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the world chess championship in a tournament, played in Reykjavik, that brimmed with Cold War symbolism. (ANI)
