With this year being the 50th anniversary of the 1972 World Chess Championship match between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer, I thought it would be a good time for a definitive book on the match to be published. A deep-dive into all aspects of the match, with interviews from those that were there at the time, all the behind-the-scenes intrigue and so forth. Does anyone know if anything is in the works? It's still an event that fascinates to this day.
As fascinating as it was, there are already plenty of books out there on it. I seriously doubt there is much new to be found.
I thought that John Donaldson's book "Bobby Fischer and His World" that came out a little over a year ago offered the best chance at new information. I enjoyed it.
Frank Brady's "Endgame" was also very entertaining.
The HBO documentary "Bobby Fischer Against the World" was also very worthwhile.
