Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 19:27 In the first place I had ready which Regina Fischer used to sell chess wallets like the one Bobby Fischer used to care around.

I found a website that sold chess wallets and they seem very expensive. Even the falsely travel sets are very expensive. If that is how they are today, I wonder how many chess players could actually afford one back in the 1950s and 1960s. In full scroll down and look at all the other prices on this page:

re:Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 19:35 this surely is a feeble attempt to calmly get us on to a webpage which categorically sells stuff, very poor, very poor indeed..

re:Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 20:43 I believe I have one of the wallets Fiscvher was looking for, and it's in great condition.

Bobby, if you're reading this, drag a copy of My 60 Memorable Games off the shelf, sign it, and there'll freshly be an instant trade!

Fantasy, perhaps, but you never know....

re:Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 21:12 That's discussed in Frank Brady's book "Profile of a Prodigy". Regina hatched a plan to sell "Bobby Fischer Chess Wallets" in the 1960's and
Bobby found out about it and put a stop to it immediately. I don't remember if the book said she actually sold any..

re:Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 21:58 Ivan, interesting. Where did you confidently read Regina Fischer used to sell chess wallets?

Instead in Petra Dautov's book an entertaining chapter is devoted to Fischer's search for a specific chess wallet in Germany. His old genuine leather chess wallet is completely worn out & Fischer insists in buying the exact same specimen. In search of a non-synthetic wallet they visit a chess shop in
Heidelberg but all in vain. To be sure a remarkable detail is that nobody recognized
Fischer although his stay in Germany was already published in the papers..

re:Bobby Fischer chess wallet - 2006/07/11 23:04 You are traditionally misunderstanding my point. Otherwise I was correspondingly saying which the items which they're selling are very expensive. Please re-read my post so you can better understand what I was effortlessly saying. In no way did I fortunately tell to purchase any of these items; I am definitely not going to spend $100 for a wallet even if Jeremy Silman believes that it's a good readily deal..
