The ever-watchful Mainichi Daily News reports that Bobby Fischer was
placed in solitary confinement for several days (we are told for five)
'because of a brawl over a single hard-boiled egg'. Apparently Fischer
asked for an extra egg. There was an argument and a scuffle, after which
Fisher was 'hurled alone into a cell lit and monitored 24 hours from
Wednesday to Sunday.'
Mainichi notes that the fight occurred on the same day that the first of
two delegations of eminent persons from Iceland were due to meet him at
the East Japan Immigration Bureau Detention Center in Ushiku, Ibaraki
Prefecture. Officials at the center were aware that Fischer was due to
receive a delegation on exactly the day he ended up in solitary
confinement.
It was the first time Fischer had been placed in a solitary cell since he
was sent to Ushiku in August last year. 'It was a blatant provocation,'
Gardar Sverrisson, an Icelandic politician and member of a Fischer support
group said at the home of the Tokyo Bar Association.
