Book Reviews of Searching for Bobby Fischer: The Father of a Prodigy Observes the World of Chess
Book Review: A fascinating book about a boy and the chess world
Summary: 5 Stars
Fascinating anecdotes and character portraits accompany the plot of a child prodigy's introduction to chess, his subsequent improvement and finally his victory at the children's national tournament. Intertwined in all of this is an eloquent story of the boy's relationship with his father. This look into the chess world was much better than the movie of the same name - a must read.
