Benedicta sit eius memoria
“Cattle die kingsmen die
all men are mortal
Words of praise
will never parish
nor a noble name!
From Hávamál
(A very ancient ode from the Viking age.) |
Saemi Pálsson, his long standing friend, was the first to sign...
...but Einar S. Einarsson, chairman the RJF Campaign and Support Group,
and
Gudmundur G. Thorarinsson, organizer of the 1972 Match "Of All Times"
followed up.

MEMORIAL
SERVICE

for the late and fallen chess legend Bobby Fischer will be held at
