“The main interest in Bobby Fischer's book of his own games lies in the personality of the author.
When a 16-year-old boy reaches nearly to the top of the chess ladder of fame the astonished world wants to know how he does it. Fischer's 13 games from the U.S. championship are very interesting, but his annotations do not help their full appreciation. The remaining 20 games from the Portoroz Interzonal tournament are without notes.
The reader is left with the impression that better use could have been made of the material and that Bobby might have been wiser to leave his biography for another to write.”
