One of the most important chess books ever written, reissued in
celebration of a chess genius, Bobby Fischer. The American takes the
reader through 60 of his games, describing his thoughts, the intricacies
behind his and his opponent's strategies, the tactical justification of
moves and the psychological battle in each one. You''ll find beautifully
simple positional play next to out-of-this-world combinations that are
just breathtaking. Fischer played nearly all of these games as a
grandmaster so they are at the very highest level, but his lucid
commentary makes every move and idea both accessible and understandable.
Every player will learn huge amounts from this book. It is essential for
each chess enthusiast, competitor and professional. The controversial
alterations that were made to Bobby Fischer's words in the last edition
have been omitted in this book, so only the author's own words are
expressed, giving a true insight into one of the most gifted, troubled
and controversial minds of the 20th century.
