Bobby Fischer, el mas grande (Spanish Edition)

Robert James Fisher es quizás uno de los personajes más emblemáticos del ajedrez. Su vida como ajedrecista es digna de una película. A los 15 años se convirtió en el Gran Maestro más joven de la historia hasta ese momento (1958) Puso literalmente en jaque la supremacía soviética en el juego ciencia enfrentando a los ya consagrados Botvinnik, Geller, Smyslov, Korchnoi, Bronstein, Larsen, Petrosian, Averbach, Taimanov y Tal, entre otros. A los 29 años tomó por asalto la búsqueda por el máximo título del ajedrez mundial. Enfrentó en el denominado "match del siglo" a Boris Spassky, a quien vencería sin asomo de duda, para convertirse en el décimo primer Campeón del Mundo. Bobby Fisher fue el ejemplo del esfuerzo de un solo individuo contra la "maquinaria soviética" del ajedrez. Por sí mimo el estadounidense era un jugador que estaba por encima de todos, en su propia clase. Por sus logros, sus éxitos en el tablero, su ajedrez fantástico y su amor inagotable por el juego ciencia, Fischer es sin duda el más grande de todos los tiempo. Este libro nos narra la vida y obra ajedrecística de Bobby Fischer, analizando sus partidas más significativas, su gran ajedrez combinativo y sus aportaciones al mundo de las 64 casillas. Una obra fundamental para entender el ajedrez moderno.

Alekhine's Anguish: A Novel of the Chess World

This is a fictionalized account of the life and career of world chess champion Alexander Alekhine. Born into Russian nobility, Alekhine lost his family and nearly his life to the Bolsheviks before becoming the world's most powerful chess player. The coming of World War II placed the chess master in a difficult position, forcing him to collaborate with the Nazis and to produce anti-Semitic materials. Desperate to win back his credibility after the war, Alekhine was preparing for the redemptive title match at the time of his sudden death. Alekhine's life was marked by alcoholism, fits of depression, scandalous affairs, marriages of convenience, painful compromises, and his battle to become "the Greatest."

The novel is told as fiction but is based on the actual people and events that were part of his triumphant career and troubled life.

The World Chess Championship Updated to Include the 1972 Fischer-Spassky Match

The official Chess Championship of the World was inaugurated with the 1948 tournament. Between then and the 1972 victory of Bobby Fischer, there have been ten matches between champion and challenger, involving only seven players - Botvinnik, Bronstein, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky and Fischer. Of these, all but Bronstein have won the championship. Svetozar Gligoric, the world-famous Yugoslav international grandmaster, has known all these champions for many years, and it is from firsthand experience that he reveals the clash of their contrasting temperaments and techniques in each encounter. From his shrewd observation and analysis, Bovinnik emerges as the technical perfectionist whereas Bronstein is seen as a master of psychology, and Smyslov as the most assured player. Tal displayed youthful brilliance and imagination while Petrosian triumphed through his positional masterpieces until he was overcome by Boris Spassky, who in turn yielded to the newest champion, Bobby Fischer. For the first time, the full match scores of every series have been collected into this single volume. Clearly presented in descriptive notation with diagrams of the critical match positions and with succinct annotations, organized and edited by the international master R. G. Wade, complete with indexes of players and variations, this record of the postwar world championship matches is an invaluable work of reference as well as a brilliant and intimate portrait of the champions. The World Chess Championship contains the full match scores of every series, diagrams of the critical match positions, annotations, indexes of players and variations, as well as brilliant and intimate portraits of the champions.
