greentreee,
I listened to and then read the stories. I have to admit, I remember that Bobby Fischer had been in the news some time back, but I didn't pay attention to the details, and for certain, was not aware of his being held in a Japanese prison.

This is an amazing story, hang in there Bobby Fischer.

hello

well, i'm not expert. What I found so interesting about the story is that Bobby Fischer is wanted by the United States, for playing a chess game. He played a game at a time when the U.S. had imposed sanctions against Yugoslavia. Now he faces 10 years in jail and a possible 250000$ fine.

I believe that he is in Iceland now, and has been for a couple years, He been held captive in Japan where claims he was exposed to radiation.

It is somewhat of an abstract thing actually i just stumbled upon it.
