Bobby Fischer Item Is Pawn For Joker
Chess Master Bobby Fischer will make a rare television appearance at 5 p.m. Sunday on KMOX-TV when he is interviewed by Mike Wallace on “60 Minutes.” And that is as bad a reason as any to tell a story being spread by Post-Dispatch sportswriter Don Poston. It seems that Fischer was standing in the vast lobby of a downtown, building recently, talking with some other chess players. Before long they were bragging about their accomplishments with knights and pawns, and the situation got so far out of hand that a guard had to eject them. The guard said he couldn't tolerate “chess nuts boasting by an open foyer.”
