Chess has come a long way since Bobby Fischer became World Champion over fifty years ago. But can we still learn from his games all these years later? The answer is yes. This book gives you the chance to emulate Bobby Fischer’s playing style and learn to put non-stop pressure on your opponents, just as he did half a century ago. By studying his most masterful endgames, you will begin to think like one of the greatest chess masters of all time.

Alex Colovic’s aim is to teach you how to play the endgame with the same precision as Bobby Fischer. He achieves this by providing exercises and questions to help you gradually learn to think like Fischer, adopting his aggressive and straightforward playing style. Studying these endgames will also sharpen your overall play.

In five chapters, you will be able to savour Fischer’s technique by examining three of his most notable games. You will also learn about endgames involving a bishop or a knight dominating the opposing piece. You will gain an insight into how Fischer always fought for the initiative. He was also a master of endgames involving rooks and opposite-coloured bishops, often creating mating threats.

This book is designed so that players of all levels can benefit from studying Fischer’s endgames, with clear explanations ranging from simple concepts to advanced combinations.
