Download Endgame: Bobby Fischer’s Remarkable Rise and Fall—from America’s Brightest Prodigy to the Edge of Madness AudioBook Free
From Frank Brady, who wrote one of the best-selling literature on Bobby Fischer of all time and who was simply himself a friend of Fischer's, comes an impressively researched biography that for the first time completely catches the remarkable arc of Bobby Fischer's life. When Bobby Fischer passed on in January 2008, he left out a confounding legacy. Everyone knew the basics of his life-he started as an excellent youngster, then became the satisfaction of American chess, then got a sharp switch, struggling with paranoia and mental disorder. But nobody truly understood him.What motivated Fischer from such a age, and that which was the source of his remarkable intellect? How could a man so ambivalent about money and popularity be so driven to achieve success? What drew this man of Jewish descent to fulminate against Jews, and how was it that a head so famously disciplined could unravel so completely? From Fischer's meteoric go up, to an absolutely dominant primary unequaled by any American chess player, to his eventual descent into madness, the book draws upon a huge selection of newly learned documents and recordings and numerous firsthand interviews conducted with those who knew Fischer best. It paints, for the very first time, a full picture of 1 of America's most enigmatic icons. This is the definitive consideration of a remarkable man and a fantastic life, the one that at last reconciles Fischer's deeply contradictory legacy and answers the question, who was simply Bobby Fischer?
