To address the “greatest ever” question, Lakdawala shares a discussion between several titled players and prominent chess writers, categorizing the greatest players by specific abilities. Was Fischer the greatest player of all time?.Fischer’s playing style connection to Jose Capablanca.His 6-0 Match victories on the road to the World Championship.Lakdawala doesn’t attempt to write any biographical material in the traditional sense, but he introduces Fischer by focusing on a few key points, including: This style is going to be hit-or-miss according to personal taste, but I like the attempt to give the games significance beyond variations and principles. "'My husband’s greatest ability is his talent to consistently disappoint all those who depend on him,' remarks Black’s queen."."The e-pawn warbles a happy tune in celebration of its new-found freedom.".“The obnoxious knight is the petulant child who screams and throws tantrums until he gets what he wants.”.“White’s once wealthy queen now finds herself cutting out 25%-off coupons for macaroni and cheese.”.Lakdawala often personifies the chess pieces, telling a story through them. I found myself curious of Lakdawala’s point of view of even Fischer’s most well-known games. Additionally, the energy with which Lakdawala writes about Fischer shows his genuine fascination with Fischer’s games and story: “Bobby Fischer, like Ali, grew bigger than his sport, and he bent our perceptions on how well a human can play chess.” Lakdawala’s enthusiasm makes the book absorbing. He finds a good balance between Fischer’s classic games (in case this is your first step into the world of Fischer) and lesser-known games (for those like me who already own several tomes). Lakdawala offers a fresh perspective and a decent amount of previously unseen material. My second thought was: In the midst of the many, many books I’ve already seen about Fischer, could this one offer new material? The answer turns out to be a resounding yes. And his eccentric life story has always provided an interesting background to his unparalleled accomplishments. Fischer is one of my favorite players to study. My first reaction to Fischer: Move by Move by Cyrus Lakdawala, was one of anticipation.
