ABOUT THE BOOK : Was Bobby Fischer the greatest chess
player who ever lived? Many consider so, but with a tough competition
from Garry Kasparov who came much later.
In this book, Max Euwe, himself a past world champion who
also acted as referee at the famous Iceland
matches in 1972, here compares Fischer with
previous holders of the world chess
championship titles.
Here are analyses of games that Fischer
actually played against Botvinnik, Petrosian,
Smyslov, Spassky, Tal, and Euwe. More
importantly, Grandmaster Euwe compares
certain aspects of Fischer's play with the best
games of Capablanca, Alekhine, and Lasker,
the most highly regarded world champions of
recent times, who were deceased by the time
Fischer was playing in tournaments.
