Chess legend Bobby Fischer, who died Jan. 17, was buried as a Catholic, according to reports from Agence France-Presse. Presiding at the funeral was Fr. Jakob Rolland of the diocese of Reykjavik, the capital of Fischer's adopted home, Iceland. Fischer, 64, was born into a Jewish family in New York.
Asking people to respect the intensely private Fischer, Rolland said, "I don't know if he converted to the Catholic faith, but that doesn't mean he didn't."
