Champion comments on his rise to the top.Euwe was a hero in his
native country of the Netherlands, and his book explains why - Euwe
was one of the very few who could stand up to the mighty Alekhine.
Not only could Euwe hold his own, he scored some magnificent wins,
such as his sparkling sacrifice of a knight against Alekhine at
Zurich 1934 or the so called 'Pearl of Zandvoort' victory from the
1935 clash which elevated Euwe to the position of World Champion.
In 1972, at the age of 19, a young man named Robert (Bobby) James
Fischer broke the dominance of the Soviets in chess and changed the
face of the game forever. "Fischer World Champion!" goes behind the
scenes one of the greatest chess games ever played to tell the tale
of how a strange but brilliant youngster took on the might and
supremacy of the Soviet chess machine - and won. Not only does this
volume look at exactly how Bobby Fischer won the match, it also
focuses on the drama and intrigue that surrounded it - from
Fischer's sometimes incredible demands, to the worldwide media
frenzy the match caused. This superb volume will allow chess
enthusiasts everywhere to relive, blow-by-blow, one the greatest
moments in chess history.
