Bobby Fischer and Miyoko Watai to marry
Ms. Miyoko Watai (acting President Japan Chess Association) has released a
statement (in English and Japanese) about her decision with Bobby Fischer
(who won the World Chess Championship in 1972) to marry. Bobby Fischer is
currently being held by Japanese Immigration on the false charge of
holding a revoked passport and faces possible deportation from Japan.
Fischer and Watai, who first met in 1973, have both completed and signed
the Japanese legal documents for marriage. The marriage documents have
been witnessed by John Bosnitch, a Tokyo-based Canadian communications
consultant, and by Mr. Ichiji Ishii, former Vice Foreign Minister of
Japan.
