The Ultimate Fischer Collection The Chess Publishing Event of the
Decade The years after the Second World War saw international chess
dominated by the Soviets Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian and
then Spassky held the world crown, treating it as if it were almost
an integral part of their country s heritage. There were occasional
flashes of brilliance in the West Reshevsky, Najdorf, and later
Larsen but no one really mounted a serious challenge to the Russian
hegemony. Then, in the mid-1950s, a lone genius from Brooklyn
emerged. Obsessed with chess, all his waking hours became devoted
to finding truth on the 64 squares. It was an unrelenting,
sometimes frustrating quest, but he persevered, eventually emerging
as perhaps the greatest natural chess talent ever. It was clear
from his early years as a gifted prodigy through his stormy ascent
of the Chess Olympus, no one had ever rocked the chess world quite
like Bobby Fischer. His raw genius for the royal game, combined
with an indefatigable will to win, made him one of the most feared
chessplayers of all time a genuine living legend. Now, for the
first time, every single one of his tournament and match games is
presented with insightful explanations and analysis. Best-selling
chess author, German International Grandmaster Karsten Mueller,
annotates each game of the player many believe to be the greatest
of all time. All 736 serious tournament games are supplemented by
crosstables of every major tournament and match in which Fischer
participated, dozens of archival photographs, along with brief
comments and observations putting the play of the great champion
into historical perspective.
