Fischer In 1970
After having been away from chess for more than a year, Bobby Fischer came back stronger than ever in 1970. Playing a short match with Petrosian (see above) and four major tournaments, he scored 80% against the strongest competition to earn the Chess Oscar for the year.
This editor prepared a booklet titled FISCHER 1970, published by the U.S. Chess Federation with all 73 of his games for the year. The prices is $1.75.
Included are the grandmaster tournaments in Rovinj-Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Chess Olympiad in Siegen, West Germany, and the Interzonal Tournament in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
The 25 pages include comments on each game, tables and introductions to each event, and a general summary of Fischer's activities. The book is offset printed from original typed copy.
Earlier books in this series, also prepared by this editor, contain all the games of the Buenos Aires Tournament and the Amsterdam Tournament of 1970.
Buenos Aires was one of Fischer's greatest triumphs, in which he finished 3½ points ahead of the field. With 153 games in 36 pages, the price is $2.
The Amsterdam Tournament, organized by the IBM Corp., resulted in a tie for first by world champion Spassky and his compatriot Polugaevsky. It has 120 games in 24 pages and is priced at $1.75.
Anyone wishing autographed copies of one or more of these books can send his check to Isaac Kashdan, Chess Editor, Los Angeles Times. The price for all three is $5.
