Japan Rejects Bobby Fischer's Deportation Appeal, AP Reports
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese immigration officials today rejected former chess champion Bobby Fischer's appeal of a decision to deport him for trying to travel on an invalid U.S. passport, the Associated Press reported.

Fischer is wanted in the U.S. on charges of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by flying to Yugoslavia to play Boris Spassky in a chess match in 1992. U.S. citizens at that time were forbidden from involvement in business or commercial activities in Yugoslavia because of the violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Fischer, the only American to hold the world chess title, was detained by officials at the Narita airport outside Tokyo two weeks ago. Fischer considers the detention a ``kidnapping,'' AP cited John Bosnitch, an adviser to Fischer, as saying.

Fischer, 61, has until Friday to take the appeal to Japan's justice minister, and can also seek a court injunction. Japanese immigration officials refused to comment on the case, AP said.

I had the sound turned off on my tv ,but saw his name,what's up?Anyone know?

You've got it :-)

oh that would be good! easier to access :)

Isn't left menu already too long?
Hmmm, maybe it could fit between My profile and Player list.

Notepad - Sure, now add it after I figured out how to send myself messages again! :-)

Actually, put first note in there - looks great! With an "edit" option, which is very cool!

One suggestion - any way to have a quick "notepad" link in the main left hand menu somewhere?

oh ok... :D

Crissie: I've added it 5 minutes ago :-)

ah notepad! wonderful idea that i didn't realize was there. Thanks Fencer!! :o)

thanks i actually thought of that after i posted :)

Who requested a notepad?
Accessible from your Profile page, paying members only.

Cut copy and paste

what about special characters? for me if i put good luck it would be hodni stisti...

Thanks Rose, Are all those question marks actually included in their words? Is it possible to get by without "you'll never beat me again sucker"? :-)

This is from the list that I have:

thanks, :-)

thanks guys! :o)

Yes, congratulations.

duh... that would make sense since i won... brain fart :)

and it is Czech :o)

looks like congrats to me :o)

lol...

i'm just curious what gratuluji means... shoot i don't even know if it is Czech... :)

Whats wrong with my translation...?LOL

hey, where is a good Czech - English translator?

Do we need to fertilize these flowers often?

I got it from Maxxina and to me it sounds like Vluck. :)

My proununciation of vlkodlak= Vuh-lik-odd-lack
I pressume that is far from the correct proununciation.

ScarletRose: werewolf = vlkodlak :-)

BBW: Definitely use the Bug Tracker. Otherwise I will forget it if you send just a message.

anyway!! LMCAO!!!

am waiting now for the voice translation from Maxxina.. :)

Fencer - do you want us to use the Bug Tracker if we have problems which only effect lets say 1 game, or 1 person? Or would you still prefer a message to you?

For example, the other day in a boat game where for some reason messed up the placement of boats / no boats placed.

LOL:)

hey - careful with intercultural flowers,
they are fragile growings, although nobody noticed perhaps ... :D ~*~

Hmmm don't think there is one complex enough to handle that ya know? hehehehe

has anyone found a "Danoschek translater" yet? LOL:)j/k

You have my email, send it LOL

I can do it :)

Who want a hear a pronounciation of word Vlk , send me a message with your email to me message box :D

I would record a correct pronounciation but I have no mic here. Nobody told me I would need it on my vacation :-)

vegan? LOL

Velk?

V-ger? lol

velkay?

i got VLiK

really not easy to explain - the L and the R cAn have sound like vowels in
slavonic languages ... often it's sufficient to imagine a faint, volatile 'ih'-phonem
after them consonants - "vlick" with a swinging L approaches fairly well, then ~*~

just guessing here.. haha

Vlk? It's easy. You must say "VL" just like the end of "travel" or "battle" etc. and add a "k" immediately. Not "k" like "key", just "k".
Hey, it's not easy to explain :-)

As an American?

incorrectly :)

Eriisa LOLOL
w o l f = wolf hehehehe....sorry

How do you pronounce VLK?

get problems with longer, or just highly structured sentences ... :)
if it's just for translating from your native language, you might get better
results by rearranging or, translating subordinate clauses one by one ... ~*~

Any translation to czech on world site . Not czech site are imho very funny :)
