Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess

Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is a chess puzzle book written by Bobby Fischer and co-authored by Stuart Margulies and Don Mosenfelder. It is intended for beginners and uses a programmed learning approach.[1] The book was originally published in 1966 by Basic Systems Inc,[2] a subsidiary of Xerox.[3][4] A paperback edition was published by Bantam Books in 1967 and sold 10,000 copies by early 1972.[5] Due to the interest in the Fischer-Spassky world championship match, sales increased dramatically and the book was reprinted eight times in 1972 alone.[5] It is the best-selling chess book ever published, with over one million copies sold.[6] In 1994, Interplay Entertainment released a computer chess program of the same name based on the book.[7]
