5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating account of Fischer's rise to the top., September 25, 1999
By A Customer
When I was reading this book more than 15 years ago, I took it everywhere! My fascination with Bobby Fischer started here. Although Fischer had become Champion before I discovered the game, his 6-0 matches leading up to his battle with Spassky (unthinkable if one considers the high level of grandmaster play), his sudden adoption of queen-pawn openings.....one of the greatest dramas played out in the history of the game had me spellbound!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money, June 11, 1998
By A Customer
This is a good book-the comments on Fischer are interesting and there are many lesser-known games which are good.
