Books Tell Of Fischer's Chess Play by Harold Lundstrom
With the phenomenal recent successes of Robert (Bobby) Fischer, now the official challenger of the world chess championship, all books by him or about him are in demand.
An example is “Fischer 1970,” a booklet prepared by Isaac Kashdan which contains all the 73 match and tournament games he played last year. The first edition has been sold out, and it has now been reprinted by the U.S. Chess Federation.
Fischer was awarded the “Chess Oscar” for 1970 as player of the year. He scored 80 percent against top competition, one of the best records ever compiled in grandmaster chess.
Included in the 25 pages of the book are comments on each game, tables, and introductions to each event and a general summary of Fischer's activities. The printing is offset from original typed copy. The price is $1.75.
Other books in this series, also by Mr. Kashdan, chess editor of the Los Angeles Times, contain all the games of the Buenos Aires Tournament and the Amsterdam Tournament of 1970.
Buenos Aires was one of Fischer's greatest triumphs, in which he finished points ahead of the field. There are 153 games in 36 pages, selling for $3.
The Amsterdam Tournament, sponsored by the IBM Corporation, resulted in a tie between world champion, Boris Spassky, USSR and his compatriot, Lev Polo Polugaevsky. It has 120 games in 24 pages, and is price at $1.75.
Anyone wishing autobiographed copies of one or more of these books can send his check to Isaac Kashdan, Chess Editor, Los Angeles Times …
