This Bobby Fischer, 2nd edition - Andrew Soltis is a chess book that traces one of the game’s most fascinating careers through 100 selected games, following Fischer from his teenage years to his 1992 match against Boris Spassky.

What the book covers

Bobby Fischer’s games have remained a benchmark for chess players around the world long after he won the world title. Fischer himself presented part of his own legacy in My 60 Memorable Games, but that collection only reached as far as 1967. This book goes further.

Andrew Soltis revisits Fischer’s full chess journey, from the early years through to the 1992 match against Spassky, and offers a fresh, detailed look at the games that built the American champion’s reputation.

Inside the book

The focus is on 100 selected games that help explain Fischer’s style: his precision, his sense of initiative and his ability to stay in control under pressure. It is a strong choice for readers who want to study the games as well as follow the story behind them.

It also makes a natural addition to a home chess library for anyone interested in chess history and game analysis.
