Maggiori informazioni sul libro

A genius, Garry Kasparov, meticulously analyzes another genius, Bobby Fischer, in one of the most interesting books that can be written about chess. They are two of the most charismatic and revolutionary players in over fifteen centuries of documented history, yet very different from each other. Fischer had a very tough childhood in a country where chess is well cared for in schools but is not popular as a profession. However, his overwhelming victories against Soviet stars came during the Cold War, making him a national hero and shocking the mental sport: millions of people began to play chess thanks to him. When Fischer became world champion in 1972, Kasparov was a nine-year-old boy, destined by his mother to be the world chess champion, and specially educated for that purpose in a very supportive environment in a country where being a chess player was a very honorable profession. It is almost impossible for any player, regardless of their level, not to enjoy Fischer's games. Therefore, it is logical that the author of this book makes an effort to elaborate on the work of the brilliant champion in volume 4 of My Great Predecessors. An essential book that also includes 64 pages of photographs.
