"here was much that Fischer kept to himself: his marriage, if marriage it was, and his daughter, a little girl living far away in the Philippines who may inherit all or part of his still considerable fortune." I hope she plays chess soon.

title of the article: Death of madman driven to sane
(this is a piece which follows the `92 Yugoslavia match part)
"After his match, he knew he was in danger of being arrested if he returned to the US, and never went back. He spent much of the 1990`s in Budapest, a shambling, bushy bearded figure, spotted from time to time at public baths. He was said to be besotted with a 17 year old Hungarian player, she eventually married someone els. He moved to the Philippines, where in 2000 he married and had a daughter with a young Filipino woman, but the relationship foundered"

Article from Gert Ligterink
for "De Telegraaf" and for
"Corus Chess Tournament Post"
Jan.26-2008
"...the Corus Tournament, before Hoogovens Tournament started with the best possible line-up, a match between the quartet; Lasker, Capablanca, Euwe and Alekhine"
"....that all world-champions from after the war, competed in Beverwijk/Wijk aan Zee, and all did win as well, except Smyslov, with only one exception:Bobby Fischer"
".....stated, that they had tried in 1960, to contract the young Fischer, but the asked amount os 20.000 U.S.dollars was not to be considered reasonable, compared with the grandmasters...."
".....we offered for the 1973 edition a fee of 250.000 US dollars. Bobby Fischer responded, that it would be an honour to play at the Hoogovens Tournament, if we paid 1.000.000 US dollars. That was...."

==Fischers "widow" and nephews in legal tussle for 1 million Pound Sterling"==
==Document may show chess-master wedding in Japan==
==Question remains over "daughter" in the Philippines==
"As a chess mastermind Bobby Fischer was capoable of executing manoeuvres as complicated as they were brutal. Now following his death, the tussle over his million pound estate may turn out so he as cotouluded. It is thought, he did not leave a will"
"Last week the Reykjavik newspaper Visir reported that Fischers estate worth an estimated 140m. Icelandic kronur (1.07 Pounds), would go to Miyoko Watai, whom it described as Fischers widow."
"But Fischers brother-in-law, Russel Targ, has been to Iceland, to instruct a lawyer to investigate whether Targ`s two sons should be the benificiaries."
"And there are also confusing accounts of a daughter, now seven years, whom Fischer is said to have fathered during a relationship, which blosemed at a country club in the Philippines."

Well, 1 million pounds is roughly equivalent to 2 million dollars; in this sense Fischer was a "millionaire", but that doesn't mean much nowadays... a lot of people has this amount of money in their bank accounts or in possessions. He was more like upper middle class...
