Just good enough for beginners
This book treats 24 games of the American World Champion and contains seven additional endgame positions. It is composed in English. Every game starts with a lesson the title of which indicates what the game is mainly about, for instance, Game #3: Lesson: Opposite Wing Castling, followed by a half-sheet long explanation about this. Then the game comes with easy-to-understand commentaries on the moves. The commentaries are mainly in text which also may include annotations of alternative or better moves. The same is true with the end games. Here at first the title, for example of endgame #2: Lesson: Queen Or Two Rooks? The text explains what may be better. The end game itself is presented in diagrams, taken from a Fritz-program I guess, but which look good. Here also a deeper move-to-move look on how Fischer cleared the difficult picture into a clearly won position.A minus point is that most of the full games are taken from the book "My Sixty Memorable Games", exactly #2 to #18. I have a good collection of Fischer's games containing more than 900 games. So it can't be a good idea to analyze games which have been analyzed a thousand times already. Nonetheless, if someone is a real beginner, just having touched the Chess board for the first time, this book may be a good entry, that's why I give four stars.But please, dear authors, and chess analytics, there are a lot more very interesting games by Bobby Fischer which haven't been analyzed yet.
