I rather doubt that Fischer will attend.  His unpredictabilty and his penchant
for general antisocial behavior are good reasons for the organizers to decline
asking him to come.  Also, after so many years of inactivity, he would be wise
to avoid playing any of the better entrants in an exhibition as he would surely
be challenged to do.
