FISCHER ROBERT: (1943-2008) American-born Icelandic World Chess Champion. An excellent, rare A.L.S., Bobby, two pages, 4to, Fifth Avenue, New York, 8th September 1965, to his mother Regina, on the printed stationery of the Fifth Avenue hotel. Fischer informs his mother that he is currently playing in the Capablanca Memorial Tournament by cable and remarks `My score is 7-2 tied for first with [Borislav] Ivkov and [Vasily] Smyslov, but there`s still a long way to go because the tournament is 21 rounds. The tournament will end around Sept. 25 or Sept. 26th I think.` He further states that he hopes his mother is taking care of herself and feeling good and asks her to write to him in care of the hotel while the tournament progresses. In concluding he asks for some magazines to which she has subscribed on his behalf to be sent to his lawyer, `I appreciate all the trouble you`ve gone to for me with these magazines and I`ve gotten quite a bit of good use out of them.` Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Fischer and signed (`Robert Fischer`) by him in the return address panel. Together with an original unsigned Christmas Greetings card sent by Fischer and featuring a photograph of him to the inside with a facsimile signature. A letter of good content. VG, 2 Fischer had planned to personally attend and play in the Capablanca Memorial Tournament which took place in Havana in 1965, however the US State Department refused to endorse his passport as being valid for travel to Cuba. Fischer therefore proposed a unique arrangement to which the tournament officials agreed: he would play his moves from a room at the Marshall Chess Club which were then transmitted by teletype to Cuba. The tournament was something of an ordeal for Fischer, who had to endure playing sessions of between eight and twelve hours. Despite this he tied for second-fourth places with a score of 15- 21, behind former World Champion Vasily Smyslov, whom he defeated in their individual game.

Most of them feature a tall, skinny (almost clown-like) figure in a blue and white striped shirt, engaged in various pursuits, such as painting a wall, kitchen duties, playing ball, dancing, extracting teeth, manning a sweet shop, sewing, having a bath, boating, lighting fireworks, shopping, etc. A number of other characters make an appearance, including a fairy, a rabbit, a sailor, and a soldier, and many of the activities, more often than not, seem doomed to disaster.

* Heath (William, pseud. Paul Pry). The March of Intellect, pub. G.Humphrey, Jany. 23rd. 1828, etching on wove with original hand colouring, very slight spotting, occ. marginal repaired closed tears, 235 x 340mm. One of series of caricatures published betwenn 1825 and 1829.The series lampooned the political and social issues of the day. Here, fantastical modes of transport, gas lights, the Thames Tunnel and a proposed bridge across the English channel are all satirised. Workers are seen relaxing in the street with a butcher and a coalman playing chess, an apple seller is reading Byron and the coach driver is deeply engrossed in a copy of ‘The Times’. The implication is that if the working classes aquired knowledge through education they would then neglect their duties. (1)
