Bobby Fischer and the Philippines

Fischer visited the Philippines multiple times throughout his life, from his 1967 appearances as a rising star, to his 1973 return as World Champion, and his later years in the country.

The Philippines had a special place in Fischer’s chess story. 🇵🇭

A rare look at Fischer surrounded by Filipino chess figures.

I will be out of town for our next club meeting a week from Sunday April 26. The club will still be meeting at the library. John is standing in for me this time.
When I am not working at my part time job, I will be found at the Vail Public Library seated daily at the newspaper table. I play all comers from 2 to 5 every afternoon
