Description

This is the story of Fischer the man and the player, shedding new light on the riddle of the most famous chess player in history. International Master Donaldson examines Fischer’s life and career from his days as a child prodigy through the height of his World Championship triumph and into his tumultuous final years. Donaldson’s meticulous research has uncovered previously lost games and a wealth of unknown material about Fischer, ranging from his close friendships with players and supporters to his acrimonious relationships with organizers, journalists, lawyers, and publishers.
Bobby Fischer and His World is brought to life through a potpourri of first hand accounts, interviews, letters, and articles by and about the colourful characters that inhabited Fischer’s world. Unifying this wide ranging tale are over 100 photos and illustrations and 99 newly annotated games. Softback, 645 pages. Dimensions 180 x 255 x 43.18mm, 1,155g.
