All that digging for nothing: Bobby Fischer is not the father of Jinky Young, a Filipino girl. Jinky's mother, Marilyn Young, said that Fischer impregnated her years ago. In order to test Jinky’s paternity, authorities in Iceland exhumed the late chess master’s corpse in order to obtain a biological sample that could determine whether he was her father—and whether, consequently, Jinky was entitled to his inheritance estimated at $2 million. He didn't leave a will. Fischer was buried in a cemetery in southern Iceland.
