Bobby Fischer is a legendary chess figure, and many consider him to be
the greatest chess player of all time. Fischer was a child prodigy who
later developed into a phenomenal force. During his peak years he
dominated his nearest rivals in a manner that had previously never been
seen. Fischer achieved his goal of becoming World Champion after beating
Boris Spassky in their 'Match of the Century' in 1972, an epic contest
which did more than anything else to popularize the game throughout the
world. In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala
studies his favourite Fischer games. Lakdawala examines Fischer's
renowned skills in attack, defence, counterattack, exploiting
imbalances, dynamic elements, accumulating advantages and endgame play.
Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. By continually
challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book,
the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising
of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of
knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep
you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you
learn. This is an excellent way to improve your chess skills and
knowledge.
