The book is bound in the publisher's original illustrated paper wraps. The binding remains relatively tight and secure, though a vertical reading crease is present along the spine, typical of a previously read mass-market paperback. The covers exhibit light shelf-wear, most notably minor rubbing along the extremities, mild surface scuffing, and a faint corner crease to the upper right of the front wrap. Internally, the text block is unmarked and clean, though the pages are uniformly and heavily toned, a common and expected consequence of the acidic paper stock used during this era of paperback production. Overall, it stands as a solid, readable copy of a highly popular chess manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a late 1970s printing of the seminal instructional chess guide by Bobby Fischer, co-authored with Stuart Margulies and Donn Mosenfelder, and issued by Bantam Books (initially published in 1966). The work revolutionised chess literature with its interactive 'programmed learning' approach, allowing readers to actively participate in the lessons by solving scenarios directly on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe edition is notable for its iconic cover photograph of a young, contemplative Fischer at the chessboard, capturing the intense focus that made him a global phenomenon. It also features a dual-priced cover indicating both the US dollar ($2.95) and UK sterling (£1.25) retail values of the period. While this mass-market paperback is not particularly scarce on the open market, finding copies that have not succumbed to heavy structural damage, loose pages, or heavy pen annotations can be challenging due to the workbook-style nature of the contents and the inherently ephemeral quality of the binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eConsidered one of the best-selling and most accessible chess manuals ever published, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"92\"\u003eBobby Fischer Teaches Chess\u003c\/i\u003e invites you to learn directly from the mind of a legendary International Grandmaster. Employing an innovative educational method, the book requires no prior knowledge of standard chess notation; instead, it presents the reader with increasingly complex puzzles and on-board scenarios. By actively working through these exercises, beginners and intermediate players alike are taught to spot mating nets, exploit defensive weaknesses, and fundamentally calculate their moves exactly like a World Champion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54313391456595,"sku":"4531","price":8.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260708_110811.jpg?v=1784107604","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/bobby-fischer-teaches-chess-bobby-fischer-stuart-margulies-donn-mosenfelder","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
