British Chess Magazine September 2022 Edizione posteriore

It’s been half a century since Bobby Fischer took the chess crown from the Soviets, in Reykjavik in 1972. This historic event shook not only the chess community but the wider world, while Fischer reached the chess Acropolis from where he launched his own fall to social obscurity. In the September issue – BCM takes a look back at the event through original reports and articles, as well as a testimony from a living witness who was there – in Reykjavik – when this historic event took place. Our American editor Pete Tamburro looks back at how the event was seen on the other side of the Pond. The September issue of BCM also includes the analysis of the 44th Chess Olympiad and, closer to home, the British Chess Championships. Get your copy now!
