Now it is out of print. Here are the 60 games annofritzed. fisch60.zip The 60 memorable games, annofritzed with 90sec/move analysis time. wc1972.zip The Fischer-Spassky 1972 WC match in Rejkjavik was probably the chess event with the highest public attention outside the chess community ever. Fischer's start was a fiasco: In the first game Bobby amazingly blundered away his last bishop with 29. ... Bxh2, and thus lost a drawn endgame; in the second game he refused to play because he did not accept the (hidden!) TV cameras in the tournament hall. But for the rest of the match he scored +6 -1 =11 and thus and after only 21 rounds (of 24) he had won the WC title with a 12.5 - 8.5 score. The two(!) tournament books of C. H. O'D. Alexander and Gligoric (both with a lot of fine background) were the first two chessbooks I bought at the age of fourteen! Unfortunately these are (like the tournament reports of Fischer himself, Fine, Reshevksy, Golombek, Evans or Steiner...) out of print. But a few are still available: Extreme Chess: C. J. S. Purdy Annotates the World Championships : Alekhine-Euwe I, 1935 : Alekhine-Euwe Ii, 1937 : Fisher-Spassky I, 1972 Fischer gegen Spasski 1972 und 1992 (in german) of Rudolf Teschner covers both Fischer-Spassky matches fi_spa92.zip The Fischer-Spassky 1992 rematch in Yugoslvia was after 30 rounds again won by Bobby.
