I want to do some computer analysis of some Bobby Fischer games. I'm looking
for a few games that are considered his best, from 1st move to last move, not
games with just one or two brilliant moves. Any suggestions for any games that
qualify will be greatly appreciated.

The best game Fischer said he ever played was against Leonid Stein.
It is in his Sixty Memorable Games but he didn't say it in the book
but he did say it. His favorite game is when he beat Tal for the
first time from what I've heard but that could be speculative. The
game he looked forward to more than any other was his chance to play
Botvinnik in the Olympiad. That game he wanted to win more than
anything. All 3 games are in his Sixty Memorable games. His game of
the century he didn't consider it an all time great. Others did.
There's some ammo for you.

Why don't you look at Fischer's 60 memorable games book, the games were
actually chosen by Fischer himself - you can't get higher recommendation
that that

Although he left his game of the century game against Byrne out - thats my
favourite
Can't remember the year but if you are a chessplayer you'll know which one I
mean

He left out the Game of the Century, D. Byrne - Fischer, New York 1956,
because he included that one in his earlier collection of games, "Bobby
Fischer's Games of Chess" (Simon & Schuster, 1959).

Here you go Dave,

Look for 'fis60-pg.zip' for his 60 Memorable games in PGN, also there is
'fisch-pg.zip'
(and loads of other players). All you need is Winzip to extract, and away
you go.

How can I get a copy of this earlier book?? I've never seen it.

I use bookfinder.com to locate out of print, collectable (or just used)
books. It's the website of a worldwide network of booksellers. I got my
copy via eBay 2-3 years ago. I think I paid something in the neighborhood
of $50. Interestingly, the seller was Bill Brock, who I see has a
contribution to this thread.

Keep in mind that Fischer was 16 when he wrote this book. The annotations
are not nearly of the depth found in MSMG, but nevertheless reflect a
completely mature sensibility. Twenty-five of its 94 pages of games are
unannotated games from the 1958 Interzonal. The dedication is "To my chess
teacher, Carmine Nigro."

I've had the book since 1958, I believe, shortly after it was
published. I think the Interzonal games were added at the last
minute. I suspect a fair amount of the verbiage and organization owed
something to cooperation/collaboration with John W. Collins.
