title: Bobby Fischer and His Predecessors in the World Chess Championship
author:  Max Euwe 
description: The distinguished author, himself a past world champion and President of FIDE, analyzes aspects of Fischer's play in comparison with previous holders of the title Alekhine, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Euwe, Lasker, Petrosian, Smyslov, Spassky, Tal. He examines the relevance of the respective ELO ratings of the earlier champions and provides more specific evidence for considering the true status of Fischer among the champions. Though no constructive judgment is possible, the comparison of Fischer's strengths and weaknesses in various compartments of the game with those of other champions affords great insight into his style, and shows him to be on a par with the greatest of those earlier heroes, a player whose main weakness was his own human fallibility.
zlib_text: This the very first book to focus exclusively on 
  Hikaru Nakamura. the greatest American chess 
  player since the legendary Robert James Fischer. 
  The book features a prologue penned by Lubosh 
  Kavalek, who was none other than Bobby's insider 
  and supporter at the "match of the century" against 
  Boris Spassky in 1972. 
  That up to now there have been no books on 
  Hikaru Nakamura is nothing less than astonishing, 
  given the fact that he is firmly established in the 
  United States as the legitimate successor to the 
  eleventh world champion. the great Robert James 
  Fischer. At the very least, this has been the case 
  since his sensational triumph at the traditional Wijk 
  aan Zee chess festival -on 30 January 2011 in 
  Holland, where he finished ahead of reigning world 
  champion Viswanathan Anand.
