The following letter can be found on pg. 334 of ‘The Bobby Fischer I knew And Other Stories’ by Arnold Denker & Larry Parr (Hypermodern Press 1995). As you may know Fischer’s mother was named Regina, a charming reply indeed.

Any ideas on who this is?
Unsure? Here’s some video action please click on the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAjaeGMB51c. It is of course Russian GM Peter Svidler, who as you may know is a genuinely nice guy. I have known for some time that he is a fan of cricket but he doesn’t talk about it much. With that said I have found an interview from the Yorkshire Chess Association. It’s worth a read for fans of both games, here it is: http://yorkshirechess.org/interview-with-peter-svidler/#comment-10170
