If you are a fan of Bobby Fischer, then there is no excuse not to buy this book.

Robert Wade lays out the most extensive collection of Fischer's games that I've seen. Many of the games are annotated, which allows the reader to grasp a better understanding of Bobby's playing style. And in my opinion, no one produced more magic on the chess board than Bobby Fischer. So playing through these games is sure to educate the reader on how chess truly can (and should!) be played.

I have owned this book for about 6 years. And it is timeless. I find myself returning to it year after year for some enjoyable reading and chess insight. I have spent dozens of hours including my own notes and thoughts in the margins of this book. I definately consider it one of my favorite pieces in my chess book collection.

This is a great collection of Fischer's games. There isn't any anaylsis but that isn't always bad. I like the way the book is put together sort of like a tribute to Fischer. This is a reprint from the early 70's so everything is descriptive notation which is annoying to no end.

I like this book.

A book that contains most of Fischer's games,biography and nice pictures.
