'It is a work of genius'



– The Compulsive Reader

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 by 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, meaning that every player will learn huge amounts from this book. It is an essential for each chess enthusiast, competitor and professional alike.

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.



Bobby Fischer, the American-born chess Grandmaster, became famous as a teenager for his chess-playing ability. In 1972 he became the first, and so far the only, American to win the official World Chess Championship, defeating defending champion Boris Spassky. The match was widely publicized as a Cold War battle. He is often referred to as one of the greatest chess players of all time. His controversial life after chess has been well documented but he is still considered a chess genius.



'Still seen as the classic games collection'



'It is a work of genius... There are masterpieces here aplenty, undoubtedly, they will give pleasure to all who love chess.'



'What is very attractive about the book – apart from the fact that Fischer was such an extraordinary player and analyst – is the honesty of his comments.'
