The Unknown Bobby Fischer is really four books in one. First of all, it is a detailed look at Fischer's formative years when the young genius went from struggling Class B player to U.S. Champion in the space of two-and-half years. Published accounts of the time, reminiscences and rare photos serve to shed light on a part of Bobby's career that is rarely examined.
But Fischer is not the only subject. The 1950's were a golden time for American chess. The Byrne brothers, William Lombardy, Raymond Weinstein, Edmar Mednis, Arthur Bisquier, Larry Evans. . . the list of strong players coming up with Bobby goes on and on. The Unknown Bobby Fischer examines some of these players and lesser-known stars of the day including Charles Kalme, Larry Remlinger, Anthony Saidy and Abe Turner along with outrageous organizers like the legendary E. Forry Laucks of the Log Cabin Chess Club.
