BOBBY FISCHER: AFTER

A court in Iceland has ruled that “former World Chess Champion/serial anti-semite” Bobby Fischer’s body can be exhumed to determine the paternity of a 9-year-old girl.

Fischer was once acknowledged as “one of the greatest chess players in history.” He became a pop icon in the ’70s after defeating Russian chess player Boris Spassky. However, in his later years, Fischer became known for a series of insanely anti-semitic remarks he made in public. Fischer proclaimed he “despised” Jews and reportedly “worshipped” Hitler. He died in 2008.
