Summary: Phenomenal Chess Book!
Comment: This book was great. The author does a great job talking about the FIDE in the first half of the book, just to inform you about the technicalities of playing in a World Championship match. The author talks about "The War of Nerves" theory, the somewhate eccentric Bobby Fischer, but at the same time, the outstanding play of him also. Part two of the book is absolutely great. It is a game-by-game analysis, showing other possible moves, a full rundown of the game, move by move, and what I enjoyed, the final position of the pieces. That truely gives you a chance to "get inside" the mind of these great chess players. If you are interested in chess, or want to get interested in chess, read this book!

Summary: A personal experience
Comment: This book was written by a panel of experts and afficianados -- ranging from music and news editors to chess grandmasters. It follows the most highly publicized chess match ever played. Expert analysis of each game is combined with personal and historical context.
The title of my review refers to the fact that I was in Iceland with my father (Richard J Roberts) and the others as we watched the matches, and was somewhat privy to much of the the behind-the-scenes reporting (as privy as a 10 year old could be).
