What I like about that book is the many texts about Bobby's career, uncluding stuff by Paul Keres. The most important games are analysed as well. If you're interested in seeing light annotations to ALL games, you could consider getting this new one as well. But honestly speaking I don't think this book is a must for people who have Wade & O'Connell and M60MG already; the main audience I think is the new generation. I have the same book, Bruce.

I think that includes all games (except of course the 1992 match, because the book predates that match). Wondering if getting this new book is worth it for me.

But i have complete games of Fischer fully annotated by great World Champions in 3 edition. This book is i think written by Soloviov. And there are Wch contributors. Am i wrong? What is new about that? I really wonder if those games fully annotated from Fischers childhool to last days was not sufficient... Please forgive my ignorance.

It should be "The Complete Tournament and Match Games ...". A fraudulent labeling! As unofficial games are missing from the book its titel “The Career and Complete Games …” is faulty. It should be “The Complete Tournament and Match Games …”. A fraudulent labeling!

Apparently I am wrong. By the way, I possess the book published in the 70-ies with the complete collected games of Fischer until then. In that "old" book 748 games are published, while this new book "only" has 736 games. Can anyone tell me how this is possible?
