The algebraic version was 'corrected' by the publisher and Fischer claimed the 'corrections' modified his original comments without his-Fischer's-authorization. The descriptive book is the one that Fischer, himself, supported. Not the algebraic."

As I understand it, there has been more than one algebraic version. I think it was in the last century that there was a version with controversial changes. More recently (I think it was after Fischer's death), there was an algebraic edition that was closer to the original descriptive.

I have the edition pictured above in both paperback and as a Kindle book.

I bought the paperback when it first came out, and a bit before.  I bought it from an England seller as it came out in England before the U.S.

A good number of years later I saw it as a Kindle book and bought it.  I like the e-books because it's a lot easier carrying around my iPad than any number of books.  And the reading is easier.

That is good news but I think that overall it is an overrated book. Many more better books out there.
Avatar of RichColorado

There might be better books but not about the moves made by FISCHER . . .

You buy this book because you like Bobbys play and you want to see how he thought!

IMHO

Batsford is releasing a new edition in hardback with algebraic notation 4/26 release.

The hardback had been promised for years and repeatedly delayed. I finally switched my order to the paperback last year.
