MY MEMORABLE GAMES

by Bobby Fischer ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 1967

Fifty-two games by the eminent young chess player whose prodigious talents have earned him a comparison to the legendary Paul Morphy. Each is prefaced by a critical introduction from American Grandmaster Larry Evans, and Bobby annotates the moves, discusses style, possibilities and probabilities and analyzes his opponents' approach. This running commentary also is interesting since it reflects Fischer's own personality as well as the excitement of the match. Buffs will be treated to a variety of openings and defenses, learn new definitions--the meaning of the German expression ""Zugzwang"" for example. Then there's the Gligorich-Fischer game with its hotly contested variation. The chess set will love it.
