Description: Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess: Signed First Edition Author: Bobby Fischer Title: Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess: Signed First Edition Description: Basic Systems, 1966. First edition, first printing. Near Fine condition. Bookplate signed by Bobby Fischer professionally affixed to inner front board. Fischer rarely signed autographs, especially later in life when he became more withdrawn, making examples of his signature scarce and highly sought after by collectors. The combination of his historical significance, limited availability, and enduring mystique makes his autograph a valuable and collectible item."Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess," published in 1966, made learning chess accessible to a wide audience, especially beginners, through its innovative programmed learning format. This method allowed readers to progress step by step, receiving immediate feedback on their answers, making it easy for people to teach themselves the game without prior knowledge. The book's association with Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest chess players in history, added tremendous credibility and drew attention to it. At a time when chess was growing in popularity, particularly in the U.S., the book helped broaden the game's appeal, contributing to a surge in interest that would eventually culminate in Fischer's world championship victory in 1972.
