Chess Tournament Forbids Draws

Fischer Tournament in Bulgaria?

More Fischer news:

The Bulgarian chess federation has invited former world chess champion Bobby Fischer to a tournament in May in Sofia, federation chief Jivko Guinshev said. “We hope he will accept. A representative of the Bulgarian federation may travel to Iceland, where Fischer lives, to discuss the invitation if necessary,” Guinshev told AFP. Fischer is wanted by US authorities for breaking a UN embargo against Yugoslavia in 1992 by playing a chess match against Boris Spassky in Sveti Stefan, Montenegro. (AFP)

Chess Strategies Master Bobby Fischer Drops Lawsuit

He decided he wants to "get on with his life" so he dropped the lawsuit. Good idea, in my mind.. hard to succeed in sueing the US government.
