Many of the facts, observations, and quotations have never appeared in print before. He refutes, or at least explains, some of the aspects of Bobby's personality that have been publicly criticized and has produced a comprehensive portrait of an out-standing American genius. In addition to the biography, which will be of interest both to chess players and non-players alike, Mr. Brady has annotated, with diagrams, seventy-five of Fischer's most important games, ranging from his first tournament wins at the age of twelve to his games with the titans of chess: Bot-vinnik, Reshevsky, Tal, Smyslov, Pe-trosian, and others. As specialists in the field of chess literature we are proud to publish this book, which sheds a somewhat different light on the career of one of the game's most misunderstood but authentic talents.
