My daughter needs to write a biography for a school project and would like
to use Bobby Fischer as her subject. Could anyone recommend a good
biography or some sources for biographical information.

Thank you

In addition to Frank Brady's "Bobby Fischer : Profile of a Prodigy (Revised
Edition)," an absolute must read is Rene Chun's article "Bobby Fischer's
Pathetic Endgame" in the December, 2002 "Atlantic" magazine. While it came
in for some criticism in this newsgroup for its "inaccuracies," it must be
said that any such errors were trivial factoids, not going to the basic
thrust of the article, which is that in the years since the height of his
fame, Fischer suffered severe mental deterioration.
