Fischer's Winning Chess Tips

According to  Fischer, in an article in  Boys  Life,  these four  ingredients  are  essential.
(1) CONCENTRA TE  Just  one slip  can cost  the  game.  Many play­ers  use  only  a  fraction  of  their  en­ergy.  Chess  requires  total  concen­tration.  Keep your mind completely on  the  game.  Play  to  win.  No­body's  interested  in  excuses  when you lose.
(2)  THINK AHEAD  Distrust your  first  instinct  in  selecting  a move.  Sit  on  your  hands.  Look ahead  to picture  your  opponent's best reply and how you  will answer that.  Remember,  it's  essential  for Originality,  Analysis,  Sugg estions,  Interviews  161 your  development  as  a  chessplayer to  adhere  to  touch  move  - once you touch  a piece  you  must  move  it. Give  no  quarter and  ask for  none !
(3)  LEARN  FROM  YOUR LOSSES  The Cuban World  Champion  Jose  Gapablanca  admitted  that he  only learned  from his  losses.  Re­cord  all your  offhand  games and  go over  them  later  to  try  to  find  where you made  your  mistakes - if  you don't already know.  You aren't likely to  lose  the  same  way  twice  and  you also retain  a  permanent  record  of your  own progress.
(4)  STUDY  Play  over  recent games  of  masters  in  books  and magazines.  Combine  this study  with actual  play  against  strong  oppo­nents.  And, of course,  spend  as much spare  time  at the  game as you can.

Many, if not most, of FIscher's columns were probably ghostwritten by Larry Evans (Evans acknowledged that he "used to help [Fischer] out"). There's nothing wrong with this advice, but to me it sounds more like Evans than Fischer.
