out of chess. I tried to give something back." Victor Niederhoffer, the hedge fund manager, took chess lessons from Bisguier as an adult. Bisguier was a regular contributor to Chess Life magazine. In 2003 he wrote a book on his best games from 1945–1960 titled The Art of Bisguier. A second volume, The Art of Bisguier: Selected Games 1961-2003, was released in 2008. Notable games The following game is Bisguier's sole win against Bobby Fischer, their first game played. Their second game was a draw, after which Fischer won 13 straight — perhaps the longest unbroken winning streak between grandmasters in history. Fischer was aged 13 at the time of this game, but already a strong player and won his celebrated Game of the Century against Donald Byrne in this same tournament.
