Something very cool I found last year...


When I was at Ron's Books one day last year (I always go there looking for OOP chess books) I came across the book displayed above. I always enjoy collecting rare books, but what sold me was what was on the pages...



Now I wondered, perhaps this is a rare Bobby Fischer book, as the handwritten notes look similar to his notes (I've seen examples from the Fischer auction, wish I had a lot of cash to buy those books), thing is Fischer wrote in pencil, whereas these notes were written in pen. In any case, it's a killer book, and a shame it's in descriptive notation. One day I should decipher the notes, there really hard to read. Anyhow, I always wanted to post this...
