BOBBY FISCHER 60 BEST GAMES - KARSTEN MÃœLLER KA...

There is probably no other player who has changed the chess world in so many areas and so
radically - like Robert James Fischer  for whom the name Bobby Fischer has become common among
chess players worldwide. Of his spectacular successes  his downright declassifying victories
against three Soviet grandmasters in the early 1970s are particularly noteworthy - a kind of
changing of the guard in the fight for the world title  to which the Soviets had subscribed  so
to speak  for more than two decades. This triggered a worldwide chess boom  or more precisely:
it triggered a chess boom especially in the western world  because in the Soviet Union with
millions of club players such a boom was apparently hardly necessary. Many players of all
levels were drawn to the royal game specifically because of the events of that time. Fischer's
games are legendary  and since they have of course already been extensively analyzed and
commented on in a number of works  the question arises: What is another book supposed to
achieve anyway? German grandmaster Karsten Müller has selected what he considers to be
Fischer's 60 most instructive games and checked them with various newer engines. Although he
noticed numerous errors in the old analyses  Bobby's games still shine in their former glory or
even brighter. Since even top programs rarely find errors  every reader can learn more than
ever from these games in order to improve their own playing strength in a success-oriented
manner. In addition to the numerous photos  it's above all the quotations contained in many
games that take the reader back to the 'old days of chess'. Therefore  even younger players can
get a good impression of what the chess world was like when  for example  there were still
'adjourned games' and 'sealed moves' - and when no player could dodge the hard analysis work by
simply delegating this tedious task to his computer.
