About this title: This is an exact reproduction of the original 1969 classic work, "My 60 Memorable Games" by Bobby Fischer.

It turned out that what they thought were mistakes by Fischer were mistakes by themselves. Fischer's analysis was correct. Theirs was wrong. As a result, Fischer famously went on the radio to denounce those who claimed to have improved on his work. Even since his death, ...

"The chess of Bobby Fischer for all practical purposes ended in the summer of 1972. My 60 Memorable Games traces the chess history of the future champion from his first stages in tournaments, winning the US Championship, gaining the GM title, playing in interzonals until his retreat in 1968. Two years later the American emerges to tackle the world and rises to the top. This prelude to the world championship of chess is an instructive and well written document on the thoughts and strategy of Bobby Fischer with introductions to the games by Larry Evans. Each game is full of lessons and excitement as the most dynamic chess player of the last century battles the rest of the world on his way to what was to later become his domination of the world championship. These 60 games are the essence of the champion even more than the games that later followed in the world championship cycle."
