دانلود کتاب Studies in Memoriam Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer was an exceptional person. He was one of the most eminent geniuses
of chess at all.
The way he gave the top players Taimanov, Larsen und Petrosjan short shrift on his
way to the world chess championship in those days and finally defeated the titleholder
Spassky is unprecedented.
Many years before I had met the then 16-year-old American during the candidates
tournament in Bled/Slovenia in 1959, when he was still at the beginning of his career.
Michael Tal, another genius of that time, defeated Fischer there 4:0. On the other
hand, during the Chess Olympics in Leipzig in 1960 Bobby came very close to win
against Botwinnik in a Rook endgame. He grew stronger steadily.
Later on the young star was repeatedly our guest in Bamberg. We played many free
games. Time and again and till late in the evenings he said: „But now I beat you ten in
a row. “
The world chess champion to come demonstrated a great acuteness in endgames.
Brilliant! I could learn from him. And the reader of this booklet can do so, too. It is
unifying the wealth of ideas and the experience of a playing model with the delightful
basic idea of the author. The appreciative chess friend will enjoy this booklet.
