Anyway, the books are professionally done. I've got over 300 other
chess books myself and I have to say the diagrams in this book are the
most amazing I have ever seen. They are crisp and clear and larger
than the little diagrams in other books. The figurine notation is
unique also. The white pieces have white figurines and the black
pieces have black figurines. I've never seen that anywhere either. You
can almost play the games blindfold when you read such notation. Could
this be another Fischer innovation, simple, and yet a vast improvement
we have all overlooked for so long?

Um, BF is presumed to run the printing shop?
What if there is a diagram error? What then?


"I know many readers seek answers to probing questions regarding
the Bobby Fischer of 1972. That person no longer exists. I've wanted
to release an official version of my book updated in algebraic
notation with a few minor corrections.

Already been done; see John Nunn's hack job,
which is in AN (or maybe FAN), and which has
corrections, modifications, deletions-- the whole
shebang.

What BF ought to have done is write books
covering his entire career, not just rehash his
old MSMG. The peak of BF's chess strength
came after those sixty games had already
been played, so he left it to the wannabes to
explain his best games-- and why? Because
he was afraid that some analytical errors
could eventually be publicized; that his um,
god-like persona could get shot down if he
took that risk. Gosh, Wally-- it's tough out
there in the real world.
