The chess master who pawned his identity for hatred

By Nathaniel Popper



Years before Bobby Fischer became an international chess star, and decades before he was arrested last week in a Tokyo airport, Arnold Denker knew him as an insecure boy with serious anxieties about his ethnic background.




A former American chess champion who served as a surrogate father of sorts to the fatherless Fischer, Denker told the Forward newspaper that young Bobby would sneak out the back door of the exclusive Manhattan Chess Club to avoid the embarrassment of being seen with his Jewish mother, Regina, when she came to pick him up. Knowing this, Denker, himself a Jew, was not entirely surprised by the anti-Semitic vitriol for which Fischer has become famous in recent years.

Fischer's latest jab at the Jews appeared just days after he was taken into custody last week at Tokyo's Narita Airport, in the most recent posting to what is widely believed to be the ex-world chess champion's Web site: "Bobby Fischer does not wish to return to the Jew-controlled USA where he faces a kangaroo court and 10 years in Federal prison," read the post.

The Japanese authorities detained Fischer on July 13, a dozen years after he violated U.S. executive order 12810 by playing a lucrative chess match in Yugoslavia. The match, which violated sanctions against Slobodan Milosovic's Serbian government, was a rematch of the famous 1972 battle with Soviet chess star Boris Spassky. That match had ended with Fischer becoming the world champion.

The United States is seeking to extradite Fischer. Through his Web site, Fischer has asked for political asylum in a third country.

Some media accounts of Fischer's arrest make brief mention of his stated hostility toward Jews. What has not been well documented is the degree to which, judging from Fischer's public interviews and writings during the past decade, anti-Semitism has come to frame his thinking. Not simply a peripheral hang-up, Fischer's anti-Jewish sentiments appear to serve as the fundamental pillar of his worldview.

In sporadic interviews on Philippine radio during the past five years, Fischer has used almost every question to launch into another diatribe about the global Jewish conspiracy directed against him and the need for an extermination of all Jews.

"The f---g Jews want to destroy everything I've worked for all my life," Fischer said during a January 1999 interview with Baguio City's Bombo Radyo. "There was no Holocaust. The Jews are liars. It's time we took off the kid gloves with these parasites."

Fischer has developed a straightforward narrative of a Jewish world conspiracy, but his anti-Semitism is more complex than first appears. In the strange pathology of Fischer's hatred, his anti-Semitism has remained far removed from his relationship with the many individual Jews who have populated his life and with whom he has maintained good relationships.

Denker continued an almost weekly telephone relationship with Fischer during the 1970s. In the 1990s, when Fischer was on the run from American authorities, he lived for a time at the summer estate of the Polgars, a Jewish family in Budapest. The Polgar family had two beautiful daughters with whom Fischer would endlessly analyze chess matches. The older daughter, Susan, who in 1991 became the first female international grandmaster, remembers arguing with Fischer endlessly about his ideas on Judaism.

"It was very strange because a lot of his friends were Jewish" said Polgar, who now runs a chess center in Queens. "He would get around that by saying, `He is a nice person despite the fact that he is Jewish.' "

This disconnect has been on display in his recent pronouncements. Fischer rarely uses his anti-Semitic commentary to attack individual Jews. Instead, he uses "Jew" as a label against his enemies, whatever their ethnic background. Fischer called the American Chess Journal and Time magazine "Jew-controlled rags," and has labeled Bill Clinton a "secret Jew."

However, Fischer believes his biggest enemy to be Robert Ellsworth, the previous owner of a temporary storage facility in California. Fischer accuses Ellsworth of selling the memorabilia and correspondence in Fischer's storage space, in what Fischer has called "a giant conspiracy of the Jewish world government."

He labeled Ellsworth a "dirty Jew," though the two met through Fischer's involvement during the late 1970s in the Worldwide Church of God - a fundamentalist Christian sect based on the observance of many Jewish ritual laws.

Fischer's mental disposition and aptitude for chess has frequently allowed for his anti-Semitism to be forgiven, even by Jewish admirers. Felix Berkovich, the author of "Jewish Chess Masters on Stamps," states the normal equation simply: "He is a great player. Every genius is a little crazy."

It often appears that Fischer's anti-Semitism has become bound up with his increasingly erratic behavior, but according to John Eidinow, co-author of the recent book "Bobby Fischer Goes to War," the chess master's interest in Hitler and white-supremacist ideology began during his teenage years - long before the onset of what Eidinow describes as Fischer's current mental problems.

Fischer's own ethnic heritage has been a matter of some dispute. In a 1962 interview with Harper's Magazine, Fischer acknowledged that his mother was Jewish, but in 1984 he wrote to the Encyclopedia Judaica asking them to remove the entry on him, explaining that he was not circumcised. In condemning his past inclusion in the encyclopedia, Fischer wrote: "I suggest rather than fraudulently misrepresenting me to be a Jew... you try to promote your religion on its own merits - if indeed it has any!"

The encyclopedia willingly complied with Fischer's request. But recently released documents show that not only was Fischer's mother Jewish, but his biological father probably was also.

Generally, Fischer's biological father has been thought to be a non-Jewish German named Gerhardt Fischer. Gerhardt left Bobby's mother three years before Bobby was born, and in researching "Bobby Fischer Goes to War," Eidinow and David Edmonds discovered 900 pages of FBI documents that strongly suggest Bobby's father was, in fact, the Hungarian-Jewish physicist Paul Nemenyi.

In looking for an explanation of Fischer's paranoia that goes beyond his current mental state, Fischer's friends and biographers often have looked to the chess star's difficult childhood without a father figure or a stable mother figure. At least once, Regina attempted to put Bobby's sister in foster care through a Jewish social service agency.

Eidinow says that he and Edmonds, who are both Jewish, came to the tentative conclusion that Fischer's future anti-Semitism "was part of his rejection of his mother, with whom he had a very turbulent relationship."

Denker, who now lives in retirement in Florida, has his own idea. When Fischer was young he would frequently get picked on because of his mother's ethnicity, "and it turned him," Denker said.

But, Denker says, "I can't hold it against him, because I know that he's not a bad person. But this is it. He's a little fruitcake."

Here's a little more to chew over...

Bobby Fischer's strangest endgame
Arguably the greatest chess player of all time (and one of the weirdest
human beings) is detained in Japan, wanted by the U.S. Will he escape an
ignominious fool's mate?
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Rene Chun

July 24, 2004 | Lost in last week's wall-to-wall Martha news cycle was an
extraordinary item about the world's most famous chess player. Reports were
conflicting and details vague, but this much was certain: Bobby Fischer was
being held in a Tokyo jail cell, where he awaited possible deportation to
the United States to face criminal charges.

For most people, whose recollection of Fischer begins and ends with his
victory in Iceland over Boris Spassky during the 1972 Cold War soap opera
officially known as the 11th World Chess Championship, this was an
astonishing revelation. It was as if a forgotten film star, someone long
assumed dead because they hadn't been seen on television in ages, had
suddenly and quite unexpectedly materialized. It's the type of twisted
American tragedy that Hollywood director Billy Wilder would have savored.
The movie pitch practically writes itself: "'Sunset Boulevard' meets
'Searching for Bobby Fischer' -- Norma Desmond, with enough chess smarts to
slay the Soviets and Deep Blue. It'll open huge in Reykjavik!"

Unlike Norma, Bobby isn't starry-eyed and longing for his beloved close-up.
Instead he's in a state of extreme mental anguish, convinced he'll be
murdered "accidentally on purpose" if deported to the United States to face
charges he violated U.S. economic sanctions by performing in a 1992 rematch
with Spassky in the former Yugoslavia. To trot out the hoary cliché, the
great chess master has finally reached his own endgame. And, while there are
moves yet to play, the outcome appears bleak.

But it's much more than a story of a kooky grandmaster fugitive finally
being brought to justice after cunningly evading the authorities for 12
years, the treatment the story has received stateside. In fact, when
arguably the greatest chess player in history was detained last week at
Tokyo's Narita International Airport on a passport violation, he became an
unwitting pawn in a game of geopolitics between North Korea, Japan and the
United States. It's a story of real diplomatic intrigue. And now Robert
James Fischer, an enigmatic recluse who used to guard his privacy as
fervently as he did his king on the chess board, is about to be thrust into
public view for all of the world to gawk at. To quote Eugene Torre, a
Filipino Grandmaster and longtime friend of Fischer's, "Poor Bobby."

To understand how a Cold War hero and a man once celebrated as an American
icon ended up in a jail cell half-way around the world, one must trace
Fischer's harrowing character arc. Fischer was raised in four-story walk-up
apartment in a middle-class Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. His mother
Regina, recently divorced but without alimony payments or child support,
worked as a practical nurse, and double and weekend shifts resulted in her
being absent much of the time. Even so, finances were a constant strain.
Young Bobby wore shoes patched with scraps of leather. When his sister,
Joan, graduated from nursing school, she didn't attend graduation ceremonies
because the cap and gown rental was deemed a luxury the family budget
couldn't absorb.

As a child, Bobby was intelligent but performed poorly in grade school. More
disturbing was his moodiness and violent outbursts, which invariably were
directed at teachers. Inadequately socialized, he was shunned by his
peers -- a problem child to be sure, but hardly in need of psychiatric help.

Despite his lackluster academic performance, what was evident from the
beginning was that Bobby possessed a preternatural ability to discern and
memorize intricate spatial relationships. Regina bought Bobby puzzles to
occupy his time spent alone in the apartment with Joan. When he was 6, Joan
brought home a $1 plastic chess set. The following year, he joined the
Brooklyn Chess Club and soon began competing in local tournaments.

His progress was steady but hardly awe-inspiring, until he played a game in
1956 at New York's Rosenwald Memorial Tournament against Donald Byrne, one
of the top U.S. chess players at the time. The game was of such complexity
and originality that it was immediately hailed in "Chess Review" magazine as
the "Game of the Century." Former Russian world champion Mikhail Tal was so
humbled by Bobby's extraordinary prowess he praised him as "the greatest
genius to descend from the chess heavens." He was only 13.

Within a year, Fischer was indisputably the best chess player in the
country. At 16, he fulfilled his promise, dropping out of high school to
pursue international competition against the best players in the world --
the Soviet grandmasters. But lack of experience and an unwillingness to
placate the very chess patrons and United States Chess Federation officials
who were in a position to help him hindered his advancement. Complicating
matters, he insisted on improved playing conditions (better lighting and
less noise were constant themes) and more prize money. He did much to
improve tournament play for his peers, but was labeled a malcontent in the
process.

It wouldn't be until 1972 that Fischer would finally reach the pinnacle of
chess. By beating Spassky in the historic "Match of the Century" in
Reykjavik, he became the first American to be officially crowned the World
Chess Champion, breaking what amounted to a 105-year losing streak for the
United States. After this titanic battle of wits, he was asked by an
interviewer how long he could continue to dominate chess, Fischer replied
matter-of-factly, "I figure I can keep the title for 30 years."

As predictions go, this was wildly off the mark. Fischer was about to enter
the dormant phase of his career, referred to morosely by chess historians as
the "wilderness years." He moved to Los Angeles, joined an apocalyptic
religious cult (to which he tithed much of his prize money from Reykjavik),
and dropped out of competitive chess entirely. Two decades later, he was
broke and virtually homeless. Making matters worse, his mental health had
deteriorated. He suffered from acute paranoia, convinced there was a Jewish
conspiracy to destroy him. His treasured Russian chess journals were
neglected in favor of such anti-Semitic screeds as "Mein Kampf "and "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

As a teenager, Fischer was always quick to point out that he was only half
Jewish (on his mother's side). But now he denied his Jewish heritage
altogether, stressing that his father was a brilliant German physicist.

Then, as abruptly as he had vanished from the chess scene, Fischer
miraculously reappeared in 1992, ready to play his old rival, Boris Spassky,
again. The $5 million chess match, promoted by a Serbian arms dealer, was to
take place in war-torn Yugoslavia, which at the time was under U.N.
sanctions and a U.S. embargo. To discourage Fischer from playing a
high-profile sporting event in a country rife with ethnic cleansing, the
Department of the Treasury sent a cease-and-desist letter, warning that if
he played in Yugoslavia, the penalty would be a $250,000 fine, 10 years in
prison, or both.

Undaunted, Fischer held a press conference and, with the cameras rolling,
pulled the warning letter from his briefcase and proceeded to spit on it. He
then rattled off a series of astonishing proclamations: He hadn't paid his
taxes since 1976 (and wasn't about to start now); he was going to write a
book that would prove that Russian grandmasters ("some of the lowest dogs
around") had "destroyed chess" through "immoral, unethical, prearranged
games"; he really wasn't an anti-Semite, because he was pro-Arab, and Arabs
are Semites too. His assertion that Soviet communism was "basically a mask
for Bolshevism, which is a mask for Judaism" elicited the most quizzical
expressions.

After the pre-match pyrotechnics were concluded, play got underway. When
Fischer performed beautifully in the first game, the excitement within the
chess community was palpable -- Bobby was back! But between occasional
flashes of brilliance were long stretches of uninspired play. This was
understandable. Bobby hadn't played a competitive game of chess in public
since the 1972 world championship in Reykjavik and Spassky was rated 101st
in the world, the chess equivalent of road kill. Fischer-Spassky II dragged
on for almost six weeks before Bobby was finally declared the victor, with
10 wins, five losses, and 15 draws. He collected a steamer trunk full of
tax-free cash and has been living abroad ever since as a free man, primarily
in Budapest, Hungary; Baguio City, Philippines; and Tokyo, with stints in
Germany and Yugoslavia.

That all changed when Fischer was stopped in Tokyo while trying to board a
Japan Airlines flight for the Philippines. The dragnet was set in motion
last December, when the consul of the United States of America sent a letter
at the urging of the Department of State to Fischer, care of the U.S.
Embassy in Manila, a country Fischer is known to visit frequently. The
letter warned Fischer that his U.S. passport had been revoked based on a
violation of the "Code of Federal Regulations"; in short, preventing anyone
with an outstanding federal warrant to possess a U.S. passport. Fischer
never received the letter because the U.S. Embassy in Manila had no
forwarding address for Bobby. (Of course, if the U.S. government had
bothered to call the United States Chess Federation -- or any chess club in
the country for that matter -- it would have been advised to send all
Fischer correspondence to the Japan Chess Association.) When he was
handcuffed and led away for processing, nobody could have been more
surprised than Fischer himself. It seemed that the 61-year-old Fischer was
finally going to pay the price for that unseemly spitting incident 12 years
before.

That's the morality tale being reported by many news organizations. Consider
this action-adventure blurb of a lead, pulled from a Fischer story in last
Saturday's Los Angeles Times: "For 12 years he has stayed one move ahead of
the U.S. government he despises, always in motion, hard to corner. But U.S.
justice may have finally caught up with Bobby Fischer."

"Hard to corner?" Fischer has his own Web site. Fans send him e-mail. He has
appeared on 21 live radio interviews in the past five years. Even his
private cellphone number has been listed on the Internet. A fifth-grader
with a rudimentary knowledge of Google could track down America's notorious
grandmaster fugitive in 50 keystrokes or less.

"One move ahead of the U.S. government"? In 1997, four years after the
federal warrant for his arrest was signed, he applied for a new passport and
the U.S. Embassy in Bern, Switzerland, issued him one. Moreover, he has
traveled exclusively to countries that maintain extradition treaties with
the United States. Since his self-imposed exile in 1992, he has visited the
Philippines (where his girlfriend and daughter live), Switzerland (where he
maintains a United Bank of Switzerland account), Hungary and Iceland (where
he has appeared on radio programs to spout his vile brand of anti-Semitic
and anti-American drivel) and Germany (which he claimed as his father's
homeland).

Asked during a radio interview in 2002 if he was fearful of being caught by
the U.S. customs agents, Fischer merely chuckled, boasting that "the U.S.
hasn't got the guts to catch me." Considering Washington's lack of interest
in Fischer up to now, such colossal hubris was understandable. All of this
begs the question: If finding Fischer was such a simple task all along, why
has it taken 12 years to finally apprehend him?

After stuttering profusely and asking the question to be repeated, Dean
Boyd, a spokesperson for United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) sheepishly said he'd get right back with an answer. When he did, he
seemed much more confident. "We can't just swoop down and grab people
anywhere around the globe willy-nilly," he said. "We don't have that
authority. It would cause an international incident." Then he adroitly
switched the onus to Japanese authorities, adding, "Right now, it's Japan's
call whether to deport him or not because he's in their custody."

And Japan has made that call. Last Tuesday, immigration officials in Tokyo
announced that the procedure to deport Fischer to the United States had
already begun. Japanese officials were quick to point out, however, that
Fischer was legally entitled to challenge the deportation.

Why is this happening now? Miyoko Watai, the president of the Japan Chess
Association and Fischer's designated spokesperson, claims it's because of
his unpopular political views, which are featured prominently on his
infamous live radio appearances, usually broadcast from Baguio City. Exhibit
A: When the twin towers were ablaze, Fischer was watching the tragic event
play out in real time on a television screen and could barely contain his
delight. "This is all wonderful news," he said excitedly, as if he were
watching his favorite team pulling off an unprecedented upset. "It is time
to finish off the U.S. once and for all."

Russell Targ, a physicist in Palo Alto, Calif., who was married to Fischer's
late sister, Joan, concurs with this analysis. He maintains that his famous
brother-in-law's latest legal plight is merely a smokescreen orchestrated by
the Bush administration to distract from growing foreign and domestic
problems. "What Bobby's accused of is playing chess 12 years ago in
Yugoslavia," he says bitterly. "It's just a distraction from 900 dead
American soldiers in Iraq and the floundering economy. They can't find bin
Laden, so they got Bobby."

The U.S. maintains that Fischer's radio appearances, incendiary though they
may be, have absolutely nothing to do with his detention in Tokyo. They
insist that it was his 90-day visa to visit Japan (a document snagged by a
vigilant paper pusher in Washington, no doubt) that finally placed Fischer
on their radar and set the wheels of justice in motion.

A more likely explanation is that Bobby is being proffered as a bargaining
chip by Japan so that it can hold onto its very own celebrity American
expatriate, a 64-year-old U.S. Army sergeant named Charles Jenkins. The
North Carolina native allegedly fled to North Korea while patrolling the
demilitarized zone between North and South in 1965 (Jenkins claims he was
abducted). Then, after spending almost four decades as Kim Jong Il's prized
mantelpiece trophy, Jenkins finally arrived in Tokyo this week, just several
days after Japanese immigration officials nabbed Fischer. The timing of
these two pending extradition cases is enough to give pause to even the most
somnambulant Fox News viewer.

Like Fischer, Jenkins faces serious criminal charges back home. Unlike
Fischer, however, Jenkins has been wanted by American officials for years.
For allegedly deserting his military post, yes. But also because he made
numerous anti-American propaganda films and radio broadcasts while living in
Pyongyang, with a captive audience surely more receptive to propaganda than
Fischer's radio listeners in the Philippines. The U.S. Army does not want to
send the message during wartime that military deserters will be tolerated.

But Japan's Prime Minister Koizumi is understandably reluctant to deport
Jenkins to the U.S. because he is married to Hitomi Soga, a Japanese woman
who was abducted by North Korean spies in 1978. Soga was just one of
hundreds of Japanese citizens kidnapped by the North Korean government over
the years. Jenkins met Soga and they eventually married; the couple raised
two daughters together and made their home in Pyongyang, but the family was
separated two years ago when a softening of relations between North and
South allowed Soga to return home as a repatriated Japanese citizen. Fearful
he would be deported to the U.S. to face criminal charges for desertion if h
e accompanied his wife back to Japan, Jenkins remained behind with his two
children.

In the process, Soga's thwarted romance with Jenkins has become a media
sensation in Japan. Two weeks ago in a Jakarta hotel room the estranged
family was finally reunited in Indonesia -- and it was covered live on
prime-time television. (Note to Bobby: Unlike Japan, Indonesia does not have
a bilateral extradition treaty with the United States.) This profound
gesture of compassion was no doubt expedited when Koizumi met with Kim Jong
Il during a 90-minute summit in May and agreed to inject 250,000 tons of
food and $10 million worth of medical supplies and humanitarian aid into the
anemic communist state. "In other words," a story in Japan Today concludes,
"the Soga family reunion was orchestrated as a 'present' from Kim Jong Il to
prop up Koizumi."

It was a gift-wrapped bauble that Korea was only too happy to part with.
With increasing tensions between Pyongyang and Washington concerning nuclear
proliferation, the tiny tyrant's attachment to Jenkins has ebbed
appreciably. When the opportunity presented itself, he was glad to send
Tokyo both Jenkins and the sticky matter of his unresolved deportation. And
considering that Koizumi's Liberal Democratic Party did poorly in the
election for parliament's upper house, held earlier this month, is it any
wonder that he would try to cut a Fischer-for-Jenkins swap? Likewise, it
makes perfect sense politically for the U.S. to extradite and prosecute
Bobby. Suffice it to say that saving face isn't exclusively an Asian
concept.

Meanwhile, media executives are gearing up for their very own version of the
three-ring Milosevic trial. Those familiar with Fischer's courtroom manners
know all too well that United States of America vs. Robert James Fischer
will make for great theater. Before fleeing his homeland, Bobby was no
stranger to litigation. In each instance, he dismissed his lawyers,
convinced they were working against his best interests (i.e. they were
either Jews, FBI spies, commies or some combination thereof), and
represented himself, in propria persona, though none of these cases
progressed past the preliminary stages. When a judge in one case set the
deposition time at 10 a.m., Bobby interjected, "No, that's too early. I'll
still be sleeping at 10. Make it later."

An attorney who represented Fischer for six months said Fischer is
ill-equipped to function in a courtroom setting: "Bobby absolutely refuses
to answer questions he doesn't want to answer, whether they're relevant or
not," he says. "He's going to do it his way, and he's going to lose."

With each passing day the story just gets stranger. A posting on Fischer's
Web site, written at Fischer's behest by Watai, the president of the
Japanese Chess Association and Bobby's unofficial spokesperson, claims that
he was "viciously attacked brutalized seriously injured and very nearly
killed" while in custody at Narita. Allegedly the beefy 6-foot-2-inch
Fischer put up a struggle and had to be restrained by several Japanese
security guards.

The posting goes on to say that Fischer has vowed to fight the extradition
and is reaching out to "friendly third countries" for political asylum
because he "does not wish to return to the Jew-Controlled USA where he faces
a kangaroo court" or "remain in a hostile brutal and corrupt U.S.-controlled
Japan." The posting concludes, "This is a matter of life and death for
Bobby. Thank you!" In an effort to secure his freedom, Fischer has even
procured legal counsel, a Japanese attorney who hasn't the slightest idea
what lunacy awaits him.

The latest brainstorm, contributed by a member of Fischer's support group,
involves him claiming German citizenship, based on Regina's marriage to a
German at the time of Bobby's conception. This would theoretically provide
Bobby with dual citizenship retroactively. Once he was officially declared a
bona fide German, the hope is that Bobby could immediately book the next
Lufthansa flight out of Tokyo.

This legal strategy may fulfill Bobby's Aryan fantasy, but how would it play
in the courts? The German Foreign Office in Berlin was contacted on
Wednesday by the Fischer camp and it has confirmed that Germany's "blood
law" stipulates that if documents can be produced that prove that Regina's
husband was German (which he was) and that Bobby was born before his parents
were divorced (also true), he would be issued a German passport. Bobby's
passport, birth certificate and Regina's divorce papers have already been
located in various parts of the world and are on the way to Tokyo.

The one flaw in this master plan is that the identity of Bobby's biological
father is a subject of dispute. While the name "Hans-Gerhardt Fischer" is
listed on Bobby's birth certificate, there is circumstantial evidence to
suggest that Fischer's real father was Paul Felix Nemenyi, a Jewish
Hungarian engineer Regina met in the U.S. while separated from her husband.
Beyond that, it seems unlikely that Germany, a country where neo-Nazism
still percolates just beneath the surface of society, would provide safe
haven for a world-class anti-Semite like Fischer. This fantastic plot to
liberate Bobby has been confirmed by the indefatigable Watai, and Russell
Targ, who was quick to add that while he didn't endorse the hateful rhetoric
that his famous brother-in-law espouses, he felt compelled to assist in this
improbable jail break because he was a card-carrying member of the ACLU. But
even if Berlin does issue Bobby a new passport, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
would still have to agree to grant asylum to his freshly minted countryman.
If he doesn't, Fischer will probably take his grievance to The Hague.

The legal maneuverings alone could drag on for months. Yesterday, Japan's
justice minister announced that Fischer could be in detention up to 60 days
while authorities decide whether or not to complete the extradition process.
Asked if it was likely that Fischer would eventually be handed off to
American authorities, an immigration official at Narita airport hinted that
such a scenario was likely: "[Fischer] was taken into our custody in
violation of immigration laws. Generally, the consequence of that is
deportation." Listen carefully. The sound you hear is a roomful of Court TV
producers salivating.

If only Fischer had listened to his mother. Regina died in 1997, but a
letter she wrote to her son 46 years ago is eerily prescient. In the
missive, she dispenses the kind of prudent advice that Fischer would have
done well to heed later on in life.

The letter, dated July 9, 1958, was written to the 15-year-old Bobby when he
was in Europe, waiting for the Interzonal chess tournament in Porotoz,
Yugoslavia, to begin. If he did well at Porotoz, he would qualify for the
next step on the way to the world title, a feat unprecedented for a player
his age. The letter was a response to an incident that occurred in Brussels,
in which Fischer enraged Belgium chess officials by refusing to play a
scheduled exhibition and acting like an all-around ugly American. Bobby
behaved badly in Moscow too -- so badly, in fact, that Russian officials
asked him to leave the country before his scheduled departure. The old-guard
Soviets dismissed him as "nyekulturni" -- uncultured, the Russian equivalent
of trailer park trash.

The U.S. Department of State received an official complaint from Brussels,
which notified the United States Chess Federation and informed them that it
was opposed to Bobby playing in any chess tournaments abroad. Hearing the
news, Regina panicked and dashed off a two-page typed letter informing Bobby
that there was new legislation in Congress that proposed greater discretion
in revoking the passports of any U.S. citizens whose presence abroad might
reflect poorly on the country.

Regina goes to great lengths not to upset her son's mercurial disposition by
directly criticizing him. "Please don't think I am just trying to scare
you," she writes. "Far from it. Don't think it can't happen to you." She
instructs Bobby to be on his best behavior for the rest of the trip. "Play
whatever matches they propose -- regardless of financial gain or not. Be as
pleasant and friendly as possible. Bend over backwards if necessary. If this
is not physically or mentally possible for you, leave the country at once."

"If this is not possible for you to agree to, if you just don't want to and
are set to cut your own throat just to prove you are right, at least think
it over and come home on your own power before you get kicked out by them or
the State Dept. pulls your passport and you have no other choice. If none of
these alternatives suit you, remember something has got to give -- three
strikes and you are out. I sympathize with you and love you regardless of
how wrong you are, or even how right you are and how much harm you do to
yourself in trying to prove it."

I hesitate to imagine the treatment being accorded to others

Postby Taro Toporific » Thu Jul 29, 2004 11:37 am

Bobby Fischer battle heats up
Exclusive to Japan Today / Thursday, July 29, 2004
....Bosnitch told Japan Today on Thursday that Fischer's supporters worldwide are angry. "This is a travesty of punishments before hearings, blind reliance on secret evidence, willful theft and destruction of a U.S. passport, and purported U.S. consular visits by a person who refuses to identify himself and then disappears." he says, "The only way to end all this it is to drag it out into the public eye."
... The Committee to Free Bobby Fischer, which Bosnitch is organizing, and the Japan Chess Association, led by Ms. Miyoko Watai, a longtime friend of Bobby Fischer, are hosting a press conference in Tokyo at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan at 1:00 PM, Thursday to, "lay bare the whole tale of the way this revered chess genius and hero of an entire generation has been entrapped, brutalized and denied his rights in the very gateway of what purports to be a land of peace and harmony."
"If I extrapolate from how these officials have treated an international personage like Bobby Fischer, I hesitate to imagine the treatment being accorded to some others."

I am at the FCCJ right now, sipping a beer and waiting for the Press Conference to begin at 1 pm. 20th floor. Great view of Tokyo's Yurakucho district and the JR lines below.

The buzz is greating louder ....as a world-class press conference fiasco is about to begin. Can Bosnitch save the day? Will Watai-san let out a loud scream and denounce her police state island nation for its brutality of one compassionate, loving chessmeister? Will the foreign press guys ask good questions or just lob softballs?

Stay tuned to Channel F*cked for more details.

Film at 11.

QUOTE: "Supporters wordwide are angry!" Oh, is that so? And now the conspiracy theories enter the story with long legs, a mysterious non-consular visitor from....KGB? CIA? MI5? Toronto Secret Service? Hinomaru Massage Parlor Cabaret?

The proof is in the pudding. Be there or be square.

Fischer wil uitlevering VS tegengaan

NEWSU FROMA HOOLLANDO!

TOKIO - Bobby Fischer verzet zich tegen zijn mogelijke uitlevering aan de Verenigde Staten. De voormalige wereldkampioen schaken heeft een Japanse rechtbank verzocht hem voorlopig vrij te laten uit een detentiecentrum in Tokio, waar hij sinds 15 juli wordt vastgehouden. De oud-schaker wil zijn vrijheid gebruiken om een mogelijke uitzetting naar Amerika te voorkomen.


Fischer noemt zijn aanhouding een kidnapping. Voorlopig heeft hij geweigerd een advocaat in de arm te nemen. "Fischer meent dat hij daarmee de actie van de Japanners een legaal karakter geeft", verklaarde de SerboCanadese communicatieconsultantNHKhack *********************John Bosnitch*********, die in Tokio contact heeft met de publieksschuwe Fischer.

De oud-schaker loopt het risico van gevangenisstraf in de Verenigde Staten, omdat hij in 1992 ondanks een afgekondigde economische boycot toch in het toenmalige Joegoslavië achter het schaakbord kroop tegen Boris Spassky. De herhaling van de WK-tweekamp uit 1972 leverde Fischer destijds 3,3 miljoen dollar op.

De Japanse overheid kan Fischer zestig dagen vasthouden. In die periode wordt zijn beroep behandeld. Na zestig dagen moet hij vrijgelaten worden. Inmiddels heeft Fischer ook bezoek gehad van een vertegenwoordiger van de Amerikaanse ambassade. De Japanse autoriteiten hebben zijn paspoort inmiddels bij de Amerikanen ingeleverd.

News cycle coming in fast and furious. Following the PressKon One, there will be more, for sure, this is what AP is saying:

Politician Offers to Sponsor Bobby Fischer

TOKYO - An influential Japanese politician said Thursday he has volunteered to be Bobby Fischer's legal guarantor and urged immigration authorities to release the former world chess champion from an airport detention cell where he is being processed for deportation.

Ichiji Ishii, a former deputy foreign minister and three-term member of Parliament, said he was volunteering to support Fischer "as a person who likes chess, and as a friend." To be released, Fischer needs a Japanese citizen to guarantee that he won't leave the country.

Japanese authorities on Tuesday turned down an appeal against their decision to deport Fischer for allegedly traveling on an invalid passport. Fischer was detained at Narita airport, just outside Tokyo, after trying to board a plane for the Philippines on July 13.

Fischer has until Friday to lodge another appeal. Ishii said that Fischer should not be kept in custody during the appeal process because he is not likely to try to flee.

"There is no danger of him hiding or disappearing," Ishii said.

John Bosnitch, a Serbian Canadian lawyerly Fischer supporter, said he has been in contact with several countries in an attempt to win political asylum for the eccentric chess legend. He said Fischer, whose father was German-Jewish, is also considering applying for a German-Jewish passport.

"It is very hard to predict Bobby Fischer's next move," Bosnitch said. "But I think he's in a winning position, if the law means anything."

NOTE: THE LAW DONT MEAN NOTHING IN JAPAN, MR LAWYER! DID YOU JUST GET OFF THE BOAT HERE?

Fischer became an American ikon when, at the height of the Colder War, he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in a series of games in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1972. The win made him the first U.S. world champion in more than a century.

Increasingly erratic and reclusive, he lost his title as world champion in 1978 and then largely vanished from the public eye until he reappeared to play a rematch in the former Yugoslavia against Spassky in 1992.

Though Fischer won, and took home more than $3 million in prize money, he played in violation of United Nations sanctions and has been wanted in the United States ever since.

"It was a political statement by Bobby to stand up to the sanctions," Bosnitch the Serbian Canadian said, adding that Fischer has not returned to the United States since the rematch.

According to Bosnitch and other supporters, who have formed a "Free Bobby Fischer Committee," Fischer traveled frequently, and was even issued a new passport by the United States in 1997.

Bosnitch said that Fischer was unaware that his passport had been revoked when he was detained at Narita. He also claimed that the passport was revoked without due process, and thus is still valid.

Japanese officials have so far been unconvinced.

They upheld their decision to deport Fischer after a two-day hearing that was closed to the media.

Though Fischer has kept a low profile in recent years, he was frequently interviewed by a radio station in the Philippines. In one session he praised the 911 terrorist attacks, saying America should be "wiped out" and describing Jews as "sweet, gentle people" who should nevertheless rot in hell for giving birth to him through his Jewmomma's womb.

Bosnitch, who acted as Fischer's adviser during the appeal hearing, refused to comment on Fischer's political positions, but said Fischer remains a "genius." And Bosnitch also remains a legal eagle genius, too.

Bobby Fischer may seek German passport

Former world chess champion Bobby Fischer might seek a German Jewish passport to
avoid deportation to the Jewish United States (JUS), where he's wanted for defying kosher sanctions by playing a match in
Yugoslavia in 1992, Serbian supporters say.

NEWSquote:

Fischer has until this Friday to lodge another appeal. Mr Ishii said that Fischer should not be kept in custody during the appeal process because he is not likely to try to flee.

"There is no danger of him hiding or disappearing," Ishii said.

HOWEVER, non-Japanese are routinely never given bail or treated like Japanese detainees or suspects. Although Bobby-san will not flee, he is a gaijin and no gaijin has ever been allowed out on bail or on personal recognizance ever. Not even a guarantor can help a gaijin in the claws of Japanese injustice. Doesn't Mr Bosnitch know that yet? Or did he just get off the boat here, FOB?

ALERT: really good Japanese local color quotes here below, CLICKIT!

http://www.japantoday.com/e/?content=popvox&id=502

"This is the very first time that I have heard about Bobby Fischer. Now I feel more sorry for him than for Jenkins. Fisher should get just as much Japanese media coverage as Charles Jenkins. Jenkins is an old time US deserter who is trying to escape his crime through appealing to the Japanese public. Jenkins might have told North Korea confidential information about the US and he also apparently taught English to North Korean spies. That is definitely a political crime. If he could be saved, why couldn't be Fisher? What Fisher did wasn't really all that bad."

and 10 more quotes. FUNNY STUFF

A Japanese lawyer told me today that in general, you know what that means, "in general", foreigners are never granted bail in Japan. He might be wrong, but if you know of some cases, without naming names to protect the innocent, please divulge, Steve, which cases occurred where non-Japanese were allowed out on bail. 99% of the time it just doesn't happen in case by case Japan.

When and where? Who? Dates? How do you know?

IN GENERAL, only Japanese citizens are allowed to post bail and spend time at home awaiting trial.

Do tell. Curious.

In that case, maybe there IS hope for Bobby-san to get out of jail and go directly to a PINK SALON!

A slightly more optimistic take on the already-doomed-for-a-reason Fischer....

Chess Giant Bobby Fischer Plots Next Move from Japanese Jail CellSteve Herman
VOA /Tokyo / 29 Jul 2004, 12:25 UTC

...John Bosnitch, who heads the support group, says the fight to free Mr. Fischer is far from over. "Bobby seems to be saying he's going to fight this and expose the way they've been treating him and I think he's in a winning position," he said. Prominent Japanese politician and ardent chess player, Ichiji Ishii, says he is willing to act as Mr. Fischer's legal guarantor, if that will secure his provisional release.
"Because I thought he has no risk of hiding himself. Not only that he has no risk of disappearance himself. So I am going to guarantee in case he is released," he said....

The FINAL option is..

Fischer ready to play defenceBy Peter Alford, Tokyo correspondent
July 30, 2004

CHESS master Bobby Fischer has until the end of today to decide whether to continue fighting deportation to the US, the homeland he hates.
A Japanese immigration tribunal has rejected Mr Fischer's appeal against the deportation order, leaving him the final option of seeking clemency from Justice Minister Taro Aso.
An immigration official at Japan's Narita international airport refused yesterday to say whether the 61-year-old had made that appeal.
Mr Fischer wants to be allowed to travel to an unidentified third country.
"We are completing the process for forcibly deporting him," the official said. released," he said....

QUOTE: "Bobby Fischer was at a Tokyo area airport two weeks ago, planning to leave for the Philippines when he was detained for allegedly violating Japanese immigration law. Mr. Fischer was traveling on an American passport that U.S. officials said had been revoked."

ACTUALLY: Fischer didn't violate Japanese immig law but unknowingly having a revoked passport. He had a valid 90 day visa and he was under the time limit. He was allegedly violating USA passport law, in that he was travelling on a revoked passport. Of course, he didn't know that, so how can the USA charge him with violating a law when he never received the written notice of the passport revoke?

The only law he has violated is the compassionate humanitarian law of being nice to Uncle Sam post 911 and keeping his antiJewish shit inside his own anus. But he can't be sent away for that!

Now, the Washington Post has weighed in with a long piece, google it under news.google.com, Anthony Faiola did the piece from Tokyo.

And VOA, too, as well as the Jerusalem Post and the Swiss papers.

Still, no reporter has reported on the question we are all wondering about WHO is this John Bosnitch fellow, what is his legal background, what does he know about Japanese law, and WHY is he doing this? He says it's because Bobby was his teenage years hero, but there seems to be something else here. Funny, you'd think these professional reporters from the Wash Post or AP or Reuters would ask Mr Bosnitch some pointed questions, like, JUST WHO ARE YOU, DUDE?

Could be that Mr Bosnitch will be the one to get Bobby a fair shake. All the more reason for the press to tell us who he is, where he comes from, what's his real motivation here? Who cares about Bobby Fischer? I don't!

But it's cool that at 61 he has a 23 year Chinese chick in Manila with their baby in tow. Now that's interesting? Who introduced them and where?

The POST alluded to this liason dangereuse, but didn't go all the way.

Par for the course. PKO! (par keeping operations)

That is wrong. That quote only pertains to immigration cases. In other matters Gaijin have been allowed out of jail on bail or personal recognizance.


A Japanese lawyer told me today that in general, you know what that means, "in general", foreigners are never granted bail in Japan. He might be wrong, but if you know of some cases, without naming names to protect the innocent, please divulge, Steve, which cases occurred where non-Japanese were allowed out on bail. 99% of the time it just doesn't happen in case by case Japan.

When and where? Who? Dates? How do you know?


I had a drink the other night with a bloke out on bail. It frequently happens when charges are likely to be dropped but haven't officially been dropped. Nevertheless, sometimes they don't get dropped and a trial takes place. His lawyer has often been able to get bail, it seems. In cases of "drunken offences" It allows you to go to the offended party, drop to the floor, say "gomen nasai" and surreptitously slide a brown paper bag of ichi-man notes across.
Often, this helps the matter to go away. Provided the lawyer has already mediated everything.

So, let's see, according to the WashingtonPostLosAngelesTimesVOAJapanTimesCNNAPUPIReutersAFPdpaBBC and the rumor mill.....Bosnitch will file an appeal for Bobby (who he has visited several times in the B4 level at Narita Kuko) just before midnight Friday, Hanakeen!, yeh!, in order to play a trick on the Jgov people so that they cannot deport Bobby quickly today if they reject his appeal, which 100000% they will do. So he will deported on Monday, after everyone in Japan goes to church on Sunday and prays to Lord Jesus.

Told you all, this story has legs. Had legs. Losing steam day by day.

It's all a rather sad commentary on nothing. Fischer is a has been, who loves spas and 21 year old girls naked, and has been a regular customer at Hinomaru, apparently. THAT's why he loves it here! Aha!

A story about a nobody who no longer matters who messed up 10 years ago or so, and now is facing the music. He shoulda listened up then. Too late the Pharathope, Bobby!

But this Bosnitch fella is doing a pretty good job of running the show. Might be a new career for him. Stay tuned.

MEANWHILE...... back at the ranch, er, fashion health (Bobby apparently likes his girls dressed as flight attendants)....

Love the way the Fischer case has given headline writers around the world a good chance to play with words and make puns:
