Will Fischer Play a Chess Game Against Benko in Serbia?
There have been reports that Bobby Fischer is planning to play Pal Benko in a Chess Match. Perhaps to make some extra money to get him out of some financial problems?
Anyway, here is a translation of the Russian Report above, via chessninja.com and prompt.ru:
According to the major Russian news agency RIA, chess ex-champion Bobby Fischer, who has recently settled in Iceland, is planning to visit Serbia again.
In a Wednesday press conference in Belgrade, Janos Kubat, Fischer's colleague and friend, said that Fischer wants to visit the small town of Kanizsa, where he lived for eight months in 1993 (located on the border between Serbia and Hungary) to play a chess match.
Kubat said that he has already selected two hotels in Kanizsa that are sutable for a match with Pal Benko - the Hungarian-born American who currently lives in Budapest.
"I have already found a sponsor. Now it fully depends on the Icelandic authorities permitting Fischer to come to Serbia," said Kubat.
