" Shernaz Kennedy is the real deal. An International Women's Master, she played for the US Olympiad Team and was Bobby Fischer's best friend. In fact, she moved to the United States from India in 1976 to train with Fischer's coach, Jack Collins. Since then she has become a New York chess fixture, leading classes, organizing local tournaments and spring chess camps, traveling with her team to state competitions, and training with an eye for junior national and world champions. ... Many in the chess world look forward to Kennedy's forthcoming book, "King's Indian - Inside the Mind of Bobby Fisher," which describes Fischer's proposal of marriage to Kennedy. Clearly, Kennedy has been a dynamic fixture in the chess scene for decades with countless UES families depending on her coaching and counsel "

  FSR: I have heard that scholastic chess teams she has coached have been extremely successful. I didn't know that she had a relationship with Fischer, let alone that he proposed marriage to her.

  perfidious: This is someone whom I hadn't heard of in a long while; our teams met at the Amateur Team East in 1988, and I believe she was third board after her then-husband John (not the player in the DB) and Michael Rohde.
