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.

FISCHER´S
MEMORIAL
SERVICE
A memorial service
for the late and fallen chess legend Bobby Fischer will be held at
Laugardaelakirkja church where he rests, Saturday February 16th.
It
will be a modest service which is orchestrated by the RJF group members and

An Icelandic designer, Elias Sigurdsson,
has
designed a special Chess Crown

memory of

who attend and sign the In-Memoriam
book. |
