This is the only book ever written entirely byBobbyFischer. It is
not to be confused with other books with similar names that were
written by other authors.

This book appears at Barnes and Noble through an agreement reached two
week ago by which most Ishi Press books will be available at all
Barnes and Noble stores and other stores worldwide.

Here is the blurb on the original dust jacket, as published in 1959:

THERE ARE 34gamesin this book. The 13 from the U.S. Championship
Tournament of 1957-58 and the prize-winning “Game of the Century” from
the Third Rosenwald Trophy Tournament are penetratingly analyzed byBobbyFischer, whose annotations provide invaluable instructions to
thechessplayer of either average or advanced ability. In addition,
this book includes the scores ofBobbyFischer's20gamesfrom the
1958 Portoroz Interzonal Tournament in which he played against the
world's elite inchess, among them Tal, Gligorich, Petrosyan, and
Bronstein.

Thegamesin this book revealBobbyFischer'sbrilliance in middle and
end-game strategy, and also the latest and soundest treatments of
popular openings-in particular, the Sicilian and King's Indian
defenses. By playing thesegamesover, the reader will become familiar
with the patterns of the latest and soundest lines inchess, and will
automatically begin to make stronger moves in his owngames.
