In 1971 Bobby Fischer defeated Mark Taimanov by the sensational score of 6–0, but the games were far more competitive than the score suggests. Twenty years later Taimanov put pen to paper, reflecting on the experience. Now the first English translation provides a richly detailed, honest and emotional account of the drama on and off the chessboard.
In 1971 Robert James Fischer defeated Mark Taimanov by the sensational score of 6–0 in Vancouver, but the match games were far more competitive and tension-filled than the final score would suggest. Twenty years later Taimanov put pen to paper, reflecting on the experience. Exactly 50 years after the match, this is the first English translation of Taimanov’s original Russian text.

Taimanov also discusses his early acquaintance with Fischer from 1960, including detailed annotations of both of their pre-1971 games, as well as the personal consequences of the match result.
With fascinating additional archive material and analytical contributions from some of the brightest young stars of the American chess scene today, I was a Victim of Bobby Fischer is the ultimate insight into one of the most famous matches in chess history.
