Synopsis
In this larger-than-life tournament at the height of the Cold War the Russians conspired against the then 19 year old Bobby Fischer. This books looks at the evidence and proofs Fischer right in his accusations. Curaao 1962 was a true drama: it started Bobby Fischer's paranoia. The story of the gruelling clash, many pictures never published before, and very fine annotations of the games., At the height of the Cold War, eight players contested the right to challenge World Champion Botvinnik. Three players from the Soviet Union (Keres, Petrosian, and Geller) were making suspiciously short draws when playing each other, while one of the favorites, a lanky 19-year-old boy from Brooklyn called Bobby Fischer, openly accused the Soviets of collusion and was later proven right. Jan Timman returns to this clash of giants, describes the course of the tournament and annotates the most important games (including 16 of Fischer's!) in his usual lucid and instructive style., The 1962 Candidates'Tournament in Curacao was one of the fiercest chess battles of all time. At the height of the Cold War, eight players contested the right to challenge World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik. The format of the tournament was a gruelling quadruple round-robin. Twenty-eight games were to be played on the tropical island, in a contest that lasted two months. The air trembled with drama and intrigue. One of the favourites, the brilliant Mikhail Tal, was taken to hospital after 21 rounds and had to withdraw. Three other players from the Soviet Union, Keres, Petrosian, and Geller, were making suspiciously short draws when playing each other. The two American players came to blows over the services of the second they were supposed to share. Bella Kortchnoi, whose husband took an early lead in the tournament, was a puppet in the hands of the scheming Rona Petrosian, the wife of the later winner. And one of the favourites was a lanky 19-year-old boy from Brooklyn, Bobby Fischer, who openly accused the Soviets of collusion and was later proven right. In the end, Tigran Petrosian was the winner and went on to become the new World Champion the following year. But such was the impact of Fischer's accusations that this was the last time such a battle was organised. Henceforth the challenger to the highest crown was determined in a series of matches. Curacao 1962 was the last Candidates'Tournament. Book jacket.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.
