I Was a Victim of Bobby Fischer - Paperback

by Mark Taimanov (Author)

In 1971 Robert James Fischer defeated Mark Taimanov by the sensational score of 6-0 in Vancouver, but the match games were far more competitive than the final score would suggest. Twenty years later Taimanov put pen to paper, reflecting on the experience. 50 years after the match, this is the first English translation of the Russian text, providing a richly detailed, honest and emotional account of the drama on and off the chessboard.
