Book Review of Bobby Fischer Goes To War: How The Soviets Lost the Most Extraordinary Chess Match of all Time

ehines avatar reviewed on + 29 more book reviews


An interesting look at the 1972 World Chess Championship between Fischer & Spassky. Fischer's complaints about absolutely everything are tiresome even 25 years along. The book suffers because it doesn't really bring the games to life, and the most interesting thing about Fischer was his play.
