Bobby Fischer - Triumph and Despair

‘A dream for collectors, historians and anyone else fascinated by the American World Champion’

The largest body of primary source Fischer material in one publication

Anyone familiar with David DeLucia’s monumental books ('A Few Old Friends', 'Bobby Fischer Uncensored', 'In Memoriam') will be fascinated by 'Bobby Fischer - Triumph and Despair', a beautifully produced tome of 785 pages (high quality paper, double stitched binding, elegant slipcase), written and arranged by his daughter Alessandra under Mr. DeLucia’s close supervision.

Some of the highlights include:
1. Complete 1999 diary written in Fischer's hand (300+ pages)
2. Eight Fischer annotated games from Herceg Novi 1970
3. Seven unrecorded training games (1992) between Fischer and Gligoric (6) and Torre (1)
4. Over 100 pages of correspondence between Fischer and Gligoric from 1973-1995
5. The Ed Edmondson notes from the early to mid-1970's regarding Fischer telephone conversations
6. 62-page typescript by Fischer elaborating the differences between the Batsford and Simon & Schuster editions of 'My 60 Memorable Games'
7. Two letters written by Fischer to the U.S. consulate while incarcerated in the detention center in Japan
8. Other letters and memorabilia of Fischer

Compared to David DeLucia’s first book on the American genius ('Bobby Fischer Uncensored'), 'Triumph and Despair' contains about 65% new material.
