Officials in Iceland dug up -- and subsequently reburied -- the body of chess legend Bobby Fischer in order to conduct a DNA test to see if he is the father of a 9-year-old girl from the Philippines.

Yes, really.

Fischer died in Iceland back in 2008 and left no will -- there has been a battle over his estate ever since. A woman came forward recently claiming she had a relationship with Fischer while he lived in the Philippines -- and that her daughter, Jinky Young, was Fischer's.

Fischer's body was dug up early Monday morning, DNA samples were taken, and he was buried again later in the day.
