Der Fischer. Klassiker, der unbesehen gekauft werden kann. Hatte Fischer mit der Schreibmaschine geschrieben, die er als 1. Preis mal gewann.

Reading this book made me a fan!
16. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
First I would like to state this is not the infamous 1995 Batsford release that infuriated Bobby Fischer. This 2009 copy puts all that scandal in the past and lets a new generation enjoy this great book in the language spoken by most players algerbraic notation. The previous alterations in the 1995 edition have been omitted making this a faithful reproduction of a great work. Mostly grammatical errors and misspellings have been corrected. I happen to own this book and compared it to with the alterations stated by Mr. Winter in his article Fischer's Fury and this new issue holds true. Only one alteration was made that is the game Fischer - Tal Candidates Tournament 1959. Fischer in his original book gives (50.....Ba1 when Bobby could have won with 51. Rc8+) instead the correct move made actually in the game 50....Kc7. Fischer in a interview for a chess magazine states at the last minute before the book hit the printing press he caught the error, he attached a note but fell off. Making this an updated copy.
Before reading this book I disdained studying any Fischer games because I believed he couldn't have been a good player for dropping out of competitive chess. Reading this book completely changed my opinion now I consider him my favorite chess player of all time. What makes this game collection so good it was written by Fischer himself. No chess writer can give you a better insight than the man who actually played the games. Fischer's commentary to his games is refreshing bringing his games to life with humor, brutal honesty and humbleness often stating where he made mistakes and could have played better. It shows Bobby's genius to remember the emotional and phycological ups and downs to his games played years before henceforth the title. You also cant beat the annotations they come strait from the mind of one of history's greatest chess artist. You wont be bored here Fisher gives a healthy amount of notes usually at key moments in the games as opposed to other chess writers who leave the reader confused with an extreme amount of notes with no value. Fischer's games are absolutley beautiful I doubt there are many readers who will disagree. This is a must have for any chess reader with any amount of good taste.

The Book and I

Hm...
When I first decided on aquiring this literary masterpiece, I was quite under the impression that there would be a higher annotation:move ratio. I was wrong, but perhaps that is a good thing.
There is a plethora of chess enlightenment within the pages. Knowledge isn't spoon-fed to you, as in many lower-level books, but there are excellent annotations which let us peek into the mind of a chess legend. A chess legend whom, if you are reading this page, you probably adore.
The games are ones which Bobby Fischer considers memorable, so therefore they must be pretty great, right? They are!
Still, as I mentioned, the annotations aren't spoon-fed to you, so you won't be getting anything out of simply playing over the moves really quickly and glancing at the annotations. You actually have to sit in front of Fischer's opponent and contemplate the moves through Fischer's eyes.
C.S.Purdy once said,"If the student forces himself to examine all moves that smite, however absurd they may look at first glance, he is on the way to becoming a master of tactics."
I quote him, because, a lot of Fischer's moves come out of nowhere. When going over Bobby's games in endeavor to guess which move comes next, calculating the bizarre moves is beneficial.
It's an excellent book if you are a dedicated chess player. Casual chess players won't get nearly as much out of it. In other words, if chess is your hobby, you won't get as much out of it. If chess is your life, then stop reading customer reviews, and just go ahead and purchase the book!

An enjoyable read
11. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Fischer's 60 memorable games is a classic in chess literature. This version contains Fischer's original words, which were altered by the publisher in the previous edition. Modern chess students will appreciate the conversion to algebraic notation.
Two things made this book particularly enjoyable to me. First, the games appear in chronological order, which gives an interesting insight into Fischer's progress as a chess player through the ten year period that the book covers. Since the book starts with games played when Fischer was just fourteen, it covers a key period in his chess development, and we see through the games his amazing journey towards world-championship strength.
The second thing that makes this book so enjoyable is its candor. The games are flavored with details that few annotators bother to include. He avoids a blunder because his opponent has grown unusually still while Fischer is thinking, prompting the latter to look deeper into the position. He considers accepting a draw in one game, but declines because another player, Tal, is watching. The draw would have put Tal in a comfortable lead for first place in the tournament, and Fischer does not want to "give [him] the satisfaction."
Also unusual is that the book includes a few losses for Fischer and a number of draws. It shows that Fischer, even before he had proved himself as world champion was not afraid to face his failures, even in the public eye. Whether his moments of humility in the book are genuine or affected, his willingness to highlight his vulnerabilities indicates a rare character strength worthy of note.
