Bobby Fischer El Mas Grande (Paperback)

Robert James Fischer is perhaps one of the most iconic characters in chess. His life as a chess player is worthy of a movie. At age 15 he became the youngest Grand Master in history until that time (1958). He put literally in check the Soviet supremacy in the science game facing the already consecrated: Botvinnik, Geller, Smyslov, Korchnoi, Bronstein, Larsen, Petrosian, Averbach, Taimanov and Tal, among others. At the age of 29, he took the search for the highest title in world chess by assault. He faced in the so-called "match of the century" Boris Spassky, whom he would win without a doubt, to become the eleventh World Champion. Bobby Fischer was the example of the effort of a single individual against the "Soviet machinery" of chess. By himself the American was a player who was above all, in his own class. For his achievements, his successes on the board, his fantastic chess and his inexhaustible love for the science game, Fischer is undoubtedly the greatest of all time. This book tells us the life and chess work of Bobby Fischer, analyzing his most significant games, his great combinative chess and his contributions to the world of 64 squares. A fundamental work to understand modern chess.
