In 1964 Bobby Fisher wasn't a complete unknown, not with six U.S. Championships to his credit, but U.S. chess players had never really seen him in action up close. During his 1964 exhibition tour, he barnstormed the U.S. and Canada from coast to coast, and his entertaining lectures, high level of play and personable wanner won him many new admirers. This is a comprehensive look at the tour, with newspaper reports, magazine articles, personal reminiscences and lots of games, many of which have never been published before. It also features new material-including a recently rediscovered exhibition in Indianapolis, first-hand accounts from San Francisco, Little Rock and Pittsburgh, games, photos and artifacts.Donaldson, John is the author of 'Legend on the Road Bobby Fischer's 1964 Simultaneous Exhibition Tour' with ISBN 9781888690255 and ISBN 1888690259.
