Here the book's prologue: Prologue

many books have been written about Bobby Fischer. Most of them talk about their life and their games. Of course this has nothing wrong but in our opinion, all authors seem to have forgotten the great contributions of Fischer chess. Therefore, we decided to focus the analysis of Bobby Fischer to his great contributions to the world of checkered board. Obviously we can not put aside the complex life that led the U.S. during his years as an active player, his struggle to become the best, literal war against the Soviets whose hegemony was i ndiscutible before him. For

Robert James Fischer us is the best player in the entire history of chess. While obviously this is a controversial issue and clearly the comparisons with the players present and past usually always put into question such claims, it is clear that everything must be viewed from a historical perspective. Whereas Fischer times as an active player in where he had to face the great monsters of the Soviet chess, Spassky, Petrosian, Tal, Keres, Geller, Averbach, and even the same Smyslov Botvinnik, among others, in addition to the more notable players West: Larsen, Olafsson and his homeland, Reshevsky, who had an intense challenge chess for years, can Fischer said that certainly was exceptional for its time.

But more importantly, Fischer is the example of the individual against the community effort that the Soviets had already traveled. Bobby was helpless and all worked a lonely life. He had no coaches or trainers, or coaches, fewer computers or programs such as Rybka or Fritz, and why, as achievements are exceptional.

Garry Kasparov, arguably the greatest player of all time, Fischer said of the following: still remember the days of world championship from Spassky and Fischer in 1972. I was a child of nine years of doing my first steps in chess career, in the peaceful Baku. I knew, of course, Spassky, the reigning world champion was a very strong player, but I had the idea that Fischer, my chess idol then, was a player of another caliber, someone who was in another class in its own class. [...] When I compare my own career with that of Fischer, I must admit that I enjoyed a certain advantage over him. He did not have anyone to his side to reach the heights reached by, where I had the privilege of having a world-class player and Karpov, which prompted me to try harder myself and move further up. If one can judge the strength of players compared with their contemporaries, it seems Fischer's achievements are impossible to overcome. The space between him and his closest rival was the largest that has been among the world champion and highest rated player in his time. He was about 10 to 15 years ahead of their time in preparation and understanding. This can be attributed in part to its dedication to the game, which was never matched by other players before or at the time Fischer. And there is a particular item that impressed me, though he played great games. Is your professional attitude to the game, his qualities as a fighter who called me so much attention. Fischer was the first professional player and I really consider myself his follower.

Kasparov mentioned an interesting detail in his words, the rating of the players. By the late Sixties introduced a classification scheme of chess strength in the International Chess Federation (FIDE, its French acronym), proposed by the Hungarian mathematician / American Arpad Elo. Thus, with a number identifying the strength of a chess player, chess gained new momentum and this laid the foundation of a chess measurable in all directions. Now had an objective value, a number, to identify the level of force of a player. Fischer arrived in 1972 to a record of 2785 ELO points, almost 100 points above its nearest rival, at the time the great Boris Spassky.

However, history is not written correctly. At the time of Fischer, said rating list is updated twice a year and accounted for all tournaments played in that period of time. Today rating calculations are carried even overnight. From this perspective, Fischer grew to more than 2805 Elo points (before his match with Spassky) and when it ends, gave the final score 2785 points. This means that Bobby, about 20 years before anyone reached the summits of the Elo rating where currently, in the world, no more than five players who have surpassed the barrier of 2800 Elo points.

We could say more about Bobby Fischer, he invented the idea of \u200b\u200bincreased clock, which was intended to avoid having to endure the hardships of time in positions gained. Every move made the clock would pay a certain amount of time. These clocks became a reality when digital technology came to the final consumer. Or, Fischer would have to thank the fact that thanks to your requests, sometimes even exaggerated to many, chess became an activity that went to the front pages of newspapers. Bobby pushed for better bags of money, because they were paid to the chess players practice their activity (Bobby asked at the time from 2000 to $ 3000 simply by participating in any international tournament). If today's elite players enjoy these privileges is precisely the thrust Fischer gave them. Even at the time seemed exorbitant requests, out of place, but today nobody seems strange that the players charged for participating in a tournament of elite. This was no doubt due to Fischer. There were other contributions

less successful, as called Fischer Random Chess 960, where the order of the pieces in the front row is placed randomly. Bobby indicated that this chess opening preparation all would be pointless and would win the best player here, not that were better prepared in the first stage of the game.

Perhaps the only thing that can recriminársele Bobby Fischer was made a few contributions in regard to chess literature. Unlike Kasparov, who has left a written legacy, the American wrote recently. His book my sixty memorable games is certainly a work required to understand Fischer, but we are not enough. Obviously we wanted more from the pen of Fischer. However, despite this, Bobby left about seven hundred games played in official tournaments. That is where we must work to find the great moments in this great chess prodigy. His legacy is there, and heading played, written between the lines, so to speak colloquially. In this book we intend to read that Fischer, who gave so much for chess.

note that we have included some of the most emblematic of American games, which have been analyzed deeply by many players around the world. In this sense we had to make a decision on the level of analysis that would keep at each meeting. After much discussion we decided that Fischer's chess can not be shortened to more or less general comments. Its depth of analysis, extensive work is partly as we have presented here. We believe that, despite the fact that some cases the analysis seems overwhelming, the careful reader will appreciate if required, complications Bobby printed in their games and never shrank. We assume that if the reader board in hand, following these tests, draw even more out of this book.

We are convinced that Robert James Fischer was a watershed in the world of chess. The great American master showed us that you can reach great heights with an extraordinary effort, and certainly beyond the capacity for science game series. When asked what was needed to penetrate the secrets of chess, Bobby said: Maximum concentration and love of the game. We that the latter all is said.
