In 1975 I watched a tournament in Singapore. ~90% of the 300+ participants carried around "My 60 Memorable Games." His games were inspiring, his analysis impeccable. It was the closest thing players had to Stockfish.
Though I can no longer follow the variations in my head, I still read "60" regularly because of the life his descriptions breathed into those chess gems. A glimpse into the mind of a genius. A triumph over (real) Russian collusion that tried to stop him.

I dont think joining the gop is going to make the original poster a genius, but you are very complimentary to suggest it is. Most people agree he cannot become like Fischer because there is only one, and can never be repeated. The hard work Fischer did to become the best is something others have tried, with some success sometimes.
Maybe the club you mentioned is full of geniuses but the endless studying, practice, success, and fame isn't going to happen simply by just joining it.
To be like fisher don't study only his games but all the masters and u shouldn't memorize the good and winning moves but u should memorize the losing moves and avoid them in ur games

Simple to become Bobby Fischer. Change your first name to Bobby and your family name to Fischer.
In GM Seirawan's 2010 book, he gave the #1 position to Kasparov, the #2 to Karpov, and Fischer was #3.
emulate tal and bobby and you will become the goat.
Anyone can be like me. But it takes discipline and determination. You must study chess as if your life depended on it. Set your playing standards high which means play to win at any cost. Study the Masters constantly and study tactics and theory everyday.
Another thing if you want to play like me. Don't be afraid of losses for they are doorways to finding out why you lost. Analyze the game down to the one move that mostly caused your loss, then correct it.
Also learn how the Russians play, seek to learn their tactics and strengths. Playing chess is their national "sport", they are Masters of the game. By doing so I was able to beat the Russians in the interzonals and candidates matches and then beat Spassky by knowing how they play and what to expect in their moves.
