Fischer V Spassky Reykjavik 1972 by C.H.O'D Alexander
 
This is the story of the world championship match which made 1972 a year of unprecedented publicity for chess. The first part of the book, written before the match, gives an insight into the world of international competitive chess and the history of the World Championship, and deals with the events which led to Reykjavic, and the backgrounds of the two grandmasters themselves-their lives, records and their previous encounters. The second part, written during the championship, gives all the games of this epic match fully annotated for the average player as well as the expert, complete with unique collection of photographs and specially commissioned drawings.
