Ivan, interesting. Where did you read Regina Fischer used to sell chess
wallets?
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 and 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. A remarkable detail is that nobody recognized
Fischer although his stay in Germany was already published in the papers.
I believe I have one of the wallets Fischer 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 be an instant trade!
Fantasy, perhaps, but you never know...
