Default Has anyone read the book " Fischer Go's To War " ?

Thank you for the info .....

Id like to see that match today Karpove vs Fischer .......They should
do it before one of them dies...
I bet Fischer plays on line chess computers so he is probably still
sharp i am sure Karpove is still sharp too ...But unfortunately that
game will never happen..

In the first championship game Fischer vs Spasky , Spasky playing
white moved and hit his clock and Fischer was not even in the room and
after 6 minutes went off his clock he showed up and moved ..Trying to
intimidate Spasky from the start ......That is as far as i got in the
book before i put it back on the shelf.


If the book claims Fischer arrived late to intimidate Spassky (or any other
opponent for that matter), the book is not to be trusted. As a friend of
his back then, I know Fischer never attempted to intimidate anyone. He was
just being Fischer, far more timid than most writers would have you think.
