Summary: A Classic book with great analysis for the advanced player
Comment: As a 2405 Internationally rated player and full time professional chess trainer I highly recommend this classic work to the serious advanced chess student. It was not written for lower rated players as Fischer, being perhaps the strongest player that ever lived, has no concept of providing instruction to beginners. However, this is not a drawback to this book at all if you are a stong player. The overall analysis is accurate with a limited number of errors (see the book "Unbeatable Chess Lessons For Juniors" for additional improvements in the analysis of his games versus Shocron and Bryne).
Indeed a classic - recommended for players rated over 1600.

Summary: The best chess book every published.
Comment: This is the one classic that is as relevant in the present as it was when it was written. Although the opennings might be a little dated, this is the most scrutinized book ever published. For over twenty five years, in Chess Life and Review players thinking they m,ight have caught the great Bobby Fischer in an error in analysis. Fischer quickly owned up to three errors. Two were typo and a third was a genuine error. It was not until 1978 that a 13 year old prodigy named Garry Weinstein (who later changed his last name to Kasparov) found a mistake in the game he had with Botvinnik; making it four mistakes.
This is the book most (not just the most frequent stated) chess book reviewers and chess masters would take to a desert island if they could take only one book. Despite the book's age, this book is still very relevant as to how to handle a middle game from an openning and converting a win from a slight advantage.
This book is not just a classic but the definitive example of chess scholarship.
If you have a library and have any pride in it, you have to have this book. If there ever was a must have, it is this book.

Summary: The virtues of honesty
Comment: Fischer avoids the traps that diminish so many other games collections. For a start, he includes a handful of losses (the book's called My 60 Memorable Games, not My 60 Greatest Games). He describes not only his thinking during (and sometimes after) the game, but also the mist of emotions that swirled about him as the game unfolded. He gives fair due to his opponents' good play and is critical of his own mistakes, even in those games where he won convincingly. It's this mix of hard analysis and honest reporting that make this book my most prized chess possession. That and the sheer quality of the games. My only caveat: if you're new to chess, be careful about modelling your play on the games in this book. Fischer walked a knife edge - so often, his convincing wins were only one false move away from becoming crushing losses. It's an exciting but demanding path to follow.
