1972 Championship revisited

I was 9 years old when the Spassky v Fischer match was front page news . I remember borrowing a book from the library covering the games as I had just started to play chess . At the time I couldn't really follow the games , however as I'm now getting back into playing chess I thought I'd relive the match through this book .
The book itself is well produced and presented . The background to the games and the annotations are excellent . I would happily recommend this book .

Excellent coverage of the background and games

I bought this book because it covers both Fischer v Spassky matches, and it doesn't disappoint! Lots of background and between-games information as well as quality analysis of the games
