First published in the United Kingdom by Faber and Faber, 1969.

The chess master takes the reader move by move through 60 of his most instructive and entertaining games, played mostly between 1957 and 1967, including the astounding "Game of the Century" played when he was only 15 years old. The controversial alterations that were made to Bobby Fischer's words in the previous edition have been omitted in this version, so only the author's own words are expressed, giving a true insight into one of the most gifted, troubled, and controversial minds of the 20th century. Bobby Fischer was an American chess grandmaster and the eleventh World Chess Champion. Many consider him to be the greatest chess player of all time. In 1972, he captured the World Chess Championship from Boris Spassky of the USSR in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland.
