Description

A must-have collector’s edition of one of the most inspirational and influential chess books ever written. First published in 1969, My 60 Memorable Games offers a rare window into the mind of chess icon Bobby Fischer. It contains Fischer’s objective, honest, and self-critical annotations to games he had won, drawn, and even lost in the period from 1957 to 1967—but from which he also learned valuable lessons. Reading Fischer’s intensely personal commentaries is like going back in time and watching live coverage of his over-the-board battles with the leading players of the day. Soon he would become the greatest of them all. Released in a luxurious new edition for collectors, with foiled cloth binding and an eight-page plate section, this remarkable book is a true insight into one of the most gifted, troubled, and controversial minds of the twentieth century. It is simply one of the most important and influential chess books ever written.
