Icelandic Newspapers are reporting the death of former World Champion Bobby Fischer. He had been ill for some time with a kidney related illness, and he passed away last night. He was 64 years old.
News of his death has just been announced in the press room at Wijk an Zee, and passed on to me by GM Ian Rogers.
Expect further coverage in the English speaking press tomorrow.
