Endgame : Bobby Fischer's remarkable rise and fall -- from America's brightest prodigy to the edge of madness / Frank Brady.
Drawing from Fischer family archives, recently released FBI files, and Bobby's own e-mails, this account is unique in that it limns Fisher's entire life - an odyssey that took the Brooklyn-raised chess champion from an impoverished childhood to the covers of Time, Life, and Newsweek to recognition as "the most famous man in the world" to notorious recluse.
