Davide Nastasio, Chess Book Collectors "Countless articles and books have been written about the controversial American, and recently John Donaldson published another book about the 11th World Champion: Bobby Fischer and His World. Well researched and well written, it shows the many facets of Fischers personality, and is definitely one of the best books, if not the best, ever written about Fischers life." Johannes Fischer, ChessBase.com "I was reading Bobby Fischer and His World by John Donaldson in the days leading up to the 2022 World Rapid and Blitz and it was a massive inspiration for my decisive last round game with Abdusattorov where I played g4-g5. I had a feeling during the game the position was very similar to Fischer-Andersson, Siegen 1970, analyzed in the book." Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, five-time World Champion
