The games are great of course. The analysis is accessible for beginners who have some experience. I appreciate that the book was conversational and didn’t drill into every possible variation the way some books can. Three stars because there were just way too many distracting errors. Basic errors make you question the quality of the analysis and how much thought went into writing. It’s especially telling when errors increase towards the end of the book-you ask are these games even worth reading?

A great chess book, with simple principles backed up by 25 of Fischer's annotated games. It's a great book to reinforce what you know, and teach you some new tricks and techniques!
