Egg of Solitude
Reuters: Bobby Fischer, apparently still at the Japanese immigration
detention center at Narita airport gets himself thrown into solitary
confinement for four days - Breakfast Fracas Lands Chess Master in Solitary.
Why? Because he demanded an additional egg for breakfast, didn't get it
and wouldn't take no for an answer. This seems to be on the eve of a
possible deal that would allow him to travel to Iceland on a passport
the government of iceland seems willing to issue him. His bodyguard and
friend, Saemundur Palsson, from the Reykjavik match seems to be the
force behind this. Bobby Fischer has friends left? The most significant detail here, beyond that this story is now
regulated to Reuters' "Oddly Enough News" beat, is that the Japanese
grandmaster, Miyoko Watai, who the article describes as Fischer's
fiance is also still sticking up for him after this last year. There
doesn't seem to be a first person account of this posted on Fischer's web site
yet. But of course, he is in solitary at the moment. [You can't write a
website from "the box" as many others will discover in the coming
clampdown.] Otherwise content on the site seems to be updated through
mid february of this year.
