About this product

Considered by many the most extraordinary phenomenon in the history of chess and perhaps the strongest player who ever played the game, Robert James "Bobby" Fischer is also, undeniably, one of the most controversial. His unusual demands during tournaments, off-the-board antics, and unexplained forfeiture of his world title have brought him a notoriety uncharacteristic of most chess champions.

Both Fischer's chess brilliance and his uncommon behavior are explored in this comprehensive, carefully researched volume.

The book is virtually three books in one: a complete biography, and analysis of 90 representative games that trace Fischer's rise to chess supremacy, and a complete history of the Fischer--Spassky World Championship Match (1972). Also included are 15 pages of cross-table results of Fischer's performance in major tournaments, 16 pages of photographs as well as reproductions of Fischer's original score sheets and letters.
