[edit] "My 61 Memorable Games" mystery

Does someone want to include this? Here is some information. Bubba73 (talk), 03:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Interesting. I've added a brief note. I doubt we'll ever know the full story though. Pawnkingthree (talk) 10:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My memorable games, 52 tournament games

From what I read the 61 book is a hoax. But there seems to be a published predecessor of the Memorable 60 games. See [1] (scroll down a page or two). Voorlandt (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Soltis said it was originally 50 games, Brady said 52. Looks like Brady was right! Thanks for that. Pawnkingthree (talk) 21:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I thought it was a hoax at first, but after reading Larry Evans' article about it (external links), I think that Fischer was involved in it. Bubba73 (talk), 19:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
