Pressestimmen
“Mr. Fischer kept a chessboard by his bed, right, just in case he had any ideas during the night.”
Harry Benson, The New York Times
“I got along with Bobby Fischer because I knew nothing about chess. Bobby thought anyone who knew about chess was a moron.”
Harry Benson, Newsweek
“Fischer was notorious for his abrasive manner, but Benson’s pictures get beyond the antagonistic persona, beyond the antics. ‘There was a softness I found in him,’ he reflects.”
TIME LightBox
"Benson’s beautiful and evocative portraits help us recall the titan at his height."
Barnes and Noble Review

Kurzbeschreibung
Harry Benson’s rare, exclusive photos of the elusive and controversial chess genius Bobby Fischer taken during the historic World Championship chess match in Iceland in 1972 in which Fischer solidly defeated reining champ, Russian Boris Spassky, are collected here for the first time, in Bobby Fischer.
Photographer Harry Benson was one of the very few people Bobby Fischer would talk to during the historic World Championship chess match in Iceland in 1972 in which Fischer solidly defeated reining world champion, Russian Boris Spassky. The match, known at the time as the “Game of the Century,” is now generally considered a battle in the Cold War between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Benson’s exclusive photos of the elusive and controversial chess genius give insight into the private
world of the man Benson calls “the most eccentric and most fascinating person I have ever photographed.”
Benson’s intimate access to Fischer was not the easiest of tasks to accomplish. In fact, Fischer barred the door even when his mother arrived from America. Filled with idiosyncrasies and a complete loner, Fischer is still revered by chess fans around the world and is considered the greatest chess player of all time.

Fischer review
9. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After a brief delay in receiving the book, it finally arrived. Overall, book is very interesting. It's mainly a "coffee table" book with very little dialogue. Most of the pictures are shot in black and white and have never been seen before. We see Bobby getting ready for matches by boxing, skipping rope, swimming, doing pull ups, lifting a medicine ball and playing ping pong. There's one shot of Bobby holding a Coke cup in one hand and a ping pong paddle in the other giving us the famous "Fischer stare". Very intimidating. Some of the shots are outtakes from the assignment Benson did for the 11-12-71 issue of Life magazine. Oddly, most of the limited color shots are "reversed" which detracts from the picture. (The square in the lower right hand corner of the board should be white, not black. Also, Bobby parts his hair on the left, not the right). I could have also done without the pictures of Bobby in the shower. My favorites are the ones of Bobby at the board with Boris. Bensons point of view is over Boris' right shoulder.
Overall, a good book but the lack of color pictures and the sloppiness in printing them reversed prevent this from being a 5 star book.
