Hi KnightStalker.

Another reason for the early h3’s is they may be setting a trap!
(you won’t like being reminded of this bit mate, look away now) 😉

(I wonder if they cover anything practical like this in the ‘Fischer Teaches Chess’ book.)

I just googled:

Bobby fischer teaches chess + edward winter

Always do this first, it is the best chess site on the net.

EW has an autographed first copy. I agree with Fat Lady, I cannot see Bobby
signing his name in a book he did not want his name on.

EW quotes here:

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4844

'Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, an unusual work, first published in 1966, on which opinions vary considerably.' (as is happening here.)

That link is about some of the best chess books ever written.

---------------------------

Perhaps the book changed publishing houses and Fischer had a row with the
new publishers. Why not, he had a row with everyone at one time or another. 🙂

Maybe that is why some think Fischer tried to sue them.

Hi KnightStalker

The perfect RHP game played the RHP way.

First obtain a lost position, this can be quite hard as usually
both players are aiming to do this.

When you finally get your lost position you know you now have the advantage.
The win after that is easy. It's the RHP way. (Bless 'em all.)

.....Rough translation of Russian proverb, that had circulated amongst Soviet chess players from 1960's.

If he signed a copy then Fischer endorsed the product.No doubt about it.
Vandervelde,your point has been revalidated 😉

Searched the net a bit,saw a claim Fischer co-authored the book.

Now I wonder what made me so sure he had nothing to do with it......
