Summary: Unique amoung chess books
Comment: This book delivers as the title says. Discussed are Fischer's decisions across various motifs (pawn structure, piece placement, strategy,...) from a diagrammed position. Much of the book can be read without a board depending on your strength. I think this book is more for advanced players, you just need to know things to get the most out of this book. Really the book is about style -- the style of a genius, so no chess player should be without it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book to synthesize elements of chess
Comment: This book will change the way you approach chess regardless of your playing level. As noted by previous readers, Elie Agur has done a nice job of systematically analyzing Fischer's approach to chess into clear parts (e.g., pawn structures, traps, typical manuevores) clearly for the reader to grasp. The usefulness of this catagorization goes beyond having to fill up a content page. What has not been said is that reading this book actually helps you to integrate almost all the chess concepts you learnt (e.g., tactics, positional chess, etc.) but never know how to go about applying them.
For the more advanced player, I would recommend you taking a look at how Agur, given a chess position with a variety of candidate moves, manage to compare and contrast Fischer's style with other schools of playing chess (e.g., Karpov and Capablanca). This is interesting in itself as this is one clear evidence of chess style at work, and that no particular style is necessarily the best (although Fischer's style has been known to be the most accurate and straightforward in selection of candidate moves).
Rating: 5
Summary: A must for Fischer fans
Comment: This book contains over 300 diagrammed middle game positions taken from Fischer's games up until 1972. There are no complete game scores. Instead the positions are organized into different chapters based upon various strategic themes. The bibliography contains hundreds of source materials on Fischer and this book brings much of this scattered material together. What you have is a complete work on Fischer's middle game technique. Another good point is that the diagrams are labelled with the side to move (White or Black), so you can study the positions before reading the text, unlike other books from this publisher that leave you guessing who's move it is in the diagrams.
