Bobby Fischer and The Holy Grailby ChessNoir23,377 views
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. For me it is simply one of the very best written and researched biographical works I have ever read. The author does an exceptional job describing and dissecting the deeply complex and troubled, chess genius that was Bobby Fischer. He meticulously explores and analyses almost every important aspect of his life; from his humble origins in Brooklyn, New York in the 1940s, his rise to the “greatest chess player of all time” and his death in Iceland in 2008.

Great book--but:
The historicity of the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Mechanic Inst. chess clubs is contradictory. It's "Sammy " Reshevsky-not "Samuel" and how can Sammy's own amazing success as a child not be mentioned? On p. 286 "whom" is used when who is correct-ouch!
Finally, "The Bagwan" is preferred, not just Bagwan.

I read his book. It contains a few new insights, but it is not as thorough as he wants us to believe. It doesn't include Fischer's last words and his coverage of the match with Spassky is so incomplete that he should have just said that he was in a coma at the time and when he woke up it was over. I was disappointed. He was one of the few people that Fischer let in, or so I thought.
