Finding Bobby Fischer
Chess InterviewsDen første boka med utvalgte stjerneintervjuer fra New In Chess Magazine utgis igjen etter å ha vært utsolgt i mange år. Den kom først i 1994 (ikke '93). Møtet ("ikke-intervjuet") med Bobby F. fra 1992 er et høydepunkt.
Merk at en del av de utmerkede intervjuene i denne boka også er trykket i 25-årsantologien til New In Chess.
Forlagets omtale:
‘Fischer gets up, tall, overweight, and slightly clumsy. He tries to fulfil the duties of the host and shakes hands, but his nervously darting eyes betray his unease with the situation. This is not a man accustomed to receiving visitors.’
Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam’s encounter with the reclusive American world champion in war-torn Yugoslavia, is the apotheosis of a unique collection of interviews with chess legends and stars that was first published in 1993.
Why did Garry Kasparov think Bobby Fischer was an alien? How many stamps does Anatoly Karpov have? Was it really Caruso who appeared in Vassily Smyslov’s dream to teach him how to sing?
Brimming with anecdotes and revealing insights these interviews bring together champions past and present. From Botvinnik, Najdorf, Portisch and Spassky to modern stars like Anand, Kramnik, and Judit Polgar.
Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam is editor-in-chief of New In Chess, the chess magazine with readers in 116 countries. He is the author of Linares! Linares! and The Day Kasparov Quit.
Edward Winter in Chess Notes: “Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam brings to the task painstaking preparation, wide knowledge and sharp intelligence.”
Lubosh Kavalek, The Washington Post: "A master interviewer."
British Chess Magazine on 'The Day Kasparov Quit': "Ten Geuzendam somehow manages to get the confidence of his subjetcs despite asking them sharp and challenging questions."
