2. The Games of Robert J. Fischer, by Wade and O'connell. It contains
mostly games, but there are several good chapters written by various
people.

Oops I just sent that tip.
It's quite nice I think.

I especially liked the one by Keres.

Maybe they meant that he didn't play in the qualifying tournament.
Benko gave up his place to let Fischer play, I think.

Right, they're confused. He sat out the ZONAL, which was the U.S.
Championship.

As it's a wiki, you could edit it and correct the problem.

Sounds like a tough way to run an encyclopedia. What happens when you have
competing interests who want to, umm, "edit" an entry like "History of the
Israeli/Palestinian Conflict."

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

How old is your daughter? She may be entering ground that is too adult to
handle truthfully.
