How to Beat Bobby Fischer (Dover Chess) Reviews
-
This book collects together all the games that Fischer lost during his chess career. There is some rather light annotation, focusing on what the author considers to be Fischer's losing move in each game.
Mednis actually did manage to win a game against Fischer, so I guess he was entitled to write it. I still can't help being reminded of Oolon Coluphid's famous trilogy, Where God Went Wrong, Some More Of God's Mistakes and Who Is This God Person Anyway? -
A nice idea for a chess book. And you can never have too much Fischer. Tibor Karolyi did threw same project for Kasparov.
