It would be interesting to know what Andy Davis thinks about the recent
Fischer case.

Bobby Fischer's Lawyer is Hot on the Case

I just received a call-back from Andy Davis, famous among chess
players as Bobby Fischer's Lawyer during the 1972 Fischer-Spassky
Match in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Andy Davis now works in the New York Attorney General's Office. His
call to me was a routine call-back in response to several telephone
messages I had left regarding my lawsuit against Beatriz Marinello and
the United States Chess Federation.

I think it is just a coincidence that Andy Davis used to be Bobby
Fischer's lawyer and now he might be appearing in the litigation
involving the United States Chess Federation.

Andy Davis said that in this sort of case the buyer would not be able
to close on the sale of the building because the buyer would not be
able to get title insurance. He was doubting whether the deal had
actually closed.

I replied that the USCF has received the money, $513,000, so therefore
it must have closed.

But I wonder: Perhaps the buyer did not apply for title insurance?
Perhaps the buyer is not aware that there is doubt whether the sale is
legal? Does anybody know?

Andy Davis was important in a turning point of my life because it was
Andy Davis who, in 1972, informed me that Bobby Fischer wanted me to
come over and visit him during the Fischer-Spassky Match, which was
then being played. I immediately ran to JFK Airport and caught a
flight to Reykjavik, where I later got involved with my Wild Icelandic
Girls and the rest is history.

So this is the latest of the many coincidences, which include a judge
named Horowitz presiding over the fate and future of the United States
Chess Federation.
