United States chess champion and all-around oddball Bobby Fischer died in Iceland in January of 2008. Yesterday his body was exhumed, some DNA samples were taken and he was reinterred.
The exhumation comes after a long legal battle over his $2 million estate. The DNA test is to determine if Bobby Fischer was the father of a Filipino girl who is now nine years old.
