every chess player could learn from this book. Fischer has a lean prose and gets right to the point in analyzing some of his greatest games.
One of the great chess books, since subject to one of the great chess controversies, when re-issued in an "amended" version by Batsford (see here)http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/fischer.html
