My 60 Memorable Games Algebraic Notation Pdf

Does anyone remember this story from a few months ago? This morning I was surprised to find an e-mail from someone telling me that the whole thing might have originated from Ed 'Gothic Chess' Trice. Near the end (5:30) of this interview, Trice claims that Fischer asked him to return to Iceland to help him with 'an undisclosed future project' I thought Trice had said before that he never actually met Fischer when he was in Iceland, but maybe I misunderstood. It's all very strange. Originally posted by DawgHaus It always sounded like a hoax, which is what it turned out to be as I recall. It's also not surprising that other folks might want to use the hoax to further publicize their own product(s), even if they had nothing to do with the original hoax.There is a long article about it by Larry Evans in this month's Chess magazine.

It doesn't sound like a hoax there, although I may have missed a subtlety in the story. Larry knew Fischer very well at one time, and had something of an inside track on the story. If this story is to be believed, there are hundreds of copies out there somewhere. A real collectors' item, although a completely illegal one, it would seem. This topic is all so bizarrely entertaining.

😏 Hollywood could never be this creative, hehe. It's just so sad that Fischer isn't around any more to continue adding fuel to the fire. I don't know who to believe. I've never had a reason to doubt Evans or Labate; I'm still not sure about Trice. Anyway, I read part of Labate's post. I'll read the rest later when I get time. One thing I don't understand, is that if Trice's aborted deal with Fischer on the Fischer-Karpov match was as Trice stated, then you would have thought that Trice would have learned his lesson and vowed to never deal with such an unstable person as Fischer in any more business deals.

Maybe it's a moth-to-the-flame type of thing, and maybe the lure of riches can cloud your reasoning ability. Also, in one of Trice's e-mails on Labate's posting, does Trice really say that for a 100,000 book run the printing cost is less than $1.00 a book? I knew printing costs weren't that expensive, but that sounds dirt cheap, even for a huge print run. Something tells me that this controversy is going to provide more entertainment down the road.

I would have thought a chess book might be slightly more expensive because of all the diagrams and special characters, but maybe that doesn't matter. I thought the '61 Memorable Games' was a hoax when I first read about it, and now that I know Trice is involved I am even more convinced. I just finished reading Labate's posting of the e-mails. A few quick comments: 1) Trice mentions that Fischer was close to running out of money due to UBS's freezing of his approximately 3 million bucks in his UBS account.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't UBS just want to close out his account and wire the funds to a bank in Iceland of Fischer's choice? (I haven't been following this issue closely, but that's what I think I remember reading a while back.) Of course, I know Bobby thought that UBS was breaking the law by wanting to cease doing business with him, but Bobby never was a fount of rationality. 2) I wonder about the legality of 'My 61 Memorable Games', if it really exists. Apparently, Bobby didn't own the publishing rights to 'My 60 Memorable Games'. (How could Ed Trice have overlooked that part of his due diligence?) So by adding one game and reworking the annotations of the games (not sure how many game annotations are claimed to have been reworked, and to what degree - maybe Ed Trice can clarify that), would the '61' book no longer fall under the publishing rights of '60'? 3) I can't get too excited about this whole 'My 61 Memorable Games' book issue. IF it's shown to really exist, and IF it's declared to be legal, and IF there are enough copies out there to keep the price reasonable, THEN I could possibly get interested.

Until then, if anyone is desirous of getting a copy of '61', I'd recommend that he instead simply buy a used copy of 'My 60 Memorable Games' (Simon and Schuster edition) and a new copy of 'Fischer Rediscovered', by Andy Soltis. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush! Originally posted by Fat Lady Secondhand copies of 'My 60 Memorable Games' are very expensive nowadays.Yeah, you're absolutely right. I shouldn't have said, 'simply buy a used copy of 'My 60 Memorable Games', since used copies ARE very expensive. Well-used paperback copies would be cheaper, but even those aren't real cheap (maybe around $40 to $80? Not exactly sure of the prices.) Of course, you could try to rationalize the purchase by telling yourself that it's only the equivalent of several new books by other authors. It sure would be nice if whoever owns the rights to '60' (Faber?) would reprint the book so we could buy it at a more reasonable price.
