A typical way to use a games collection is to pick a side (probably Fischer) and try to guess the next move before reading the game continuation.

B-Kt2 has good advice. I always played through every variation to see what they were talking about. It could be a pain getting the original position back because I always studied over a board and not a PC, especially back in the 1980s when I was studying hard. I also had a couple opening books handy for reference.

I played thru every game on a board, trying to understand every move.

Every move I'd analyze questions like "Why this? " "Why not this instead?" "What would I play here?" and so on.

I did this again and again and again until the book fell apart. I put it back sort of together with left over caulk for glue and cloth as a cover.

Even now, many years later, if I want to review the Ruy Lopez opening, I first go thru a game in his book in it, then look how theory's changed since.

I could say that I studied it like I did for my PhD prelims in mathematics. But I did the book first and studied for the prelims like I did the chess book (and passed first try as a result).

Now, I have more money and buy a new chess book when I finish working through one. I suspect that I got more out of Fischers book just because I didnt let it go until i'd drained it of all I could learn.

I see this type of game collection as more of an entertainment than an instruction book.

Fischer’s games are great. His analyses are quite advanced—aimed I think at tournament players who are at least 1800 or 1900. So I don’t think a casual player can gain much from his analyses

What a lower rated player might be able to take from this book are Fischer’s comments regarding his opponents, his approach to preparation, and his fierce competitive style.

I agree that it is useful to play through the variations on a real board. Unless you have th ability to play blindfold chess, it is always helpful to see the variations played out.

i always used a small magnetic set for this. It was faster to play through a line and then to reset the position with a small magnetic set.

Never lend a Book, That's how I lost my copy of a book many years ago. I got tremendous enjoyment from it,

He certainly gave some great analysis, and the games were really memorable for a variety of reasons.

Oh, you go not have the original in Descriptive notation. I should try and get the book back again, if I can locate the folk I lent it to as it could fetch a bit for them and me. I hope their child learnt something from it. he would be grown up well and truly by now.

One of the games was with the Psychiatrist Player, an Evans Gambit, which I play from time to time without a great deal of success.

I usually lay it to the right of my board and place my tea mug on it.

May I borrow it?

Or if you do not want to, I will swap you my "My System" for it.

Thats a very good book. But more for advanced players.

There are only two ways either you play the lines he mentions on the board. What will cost much time. Better would be you could do these moves in your head. If you are that good. You are on master level. At least your visualization and calculation.
