This does look quite good. How many of its 34 games subsequently
appeared in 60MG?

None of them.

This is an important point.

"My 60 Memorable Games" was intended to be a sequel to "Bobby
Fischer's Games of Chess". Therefore, no game that appeared in "Bobby
Fischer's Games of Chess" also appeared in "My 60 Memorable Games".

This explains the fact that the most famous game of chess that Bobby
Fischer ever played, "The Game of the Century", Donald Byrne vs. Bobby
Fischer, Rosenwald Tournament, 1956, appears starting on on page 63 of
"Bobby Fischer's Games of Chess" with notes by Bobby Fischer, but does
not appear in "My 60 Memorable Games".

This also explains the title, "My 60 Memorable Games". The title does
not say "Best Games of Bobby Fischer" or anything similar because it
does not include any of the games in "Bobby Fischer's Games of Chess".
