Data Is Given On Textbook By Fischer
With thanks to Dr. F. Albert Olash of Louisville, Ed Porter, a student at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary from Alabama, and others who wrote or phoned, I now have the information on Bobby Fischer's textbook requested last week by Paul L. Bruhn of Lakeside, Ky.
The volume is titled “Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess,” and is basically a programmed instruction book of problems and endgame positions. The problems, I am told, become progressively more complicated and are taken from actual games.
Although he does not hold the world championship, grandmaster Fischer may be the strongest player in the world today, in the opinion of many chess authorities. But this may be hard to prove unless the unpredictable American champion changes his position and agrees to play the Russians in the interzonal and challengers' tournaments which finally determine who will get a crack at the title now held by Tigran Petrosian of the Soviet Union. Fischer was the youngest international master of all time at the age of 15. He will be 25 on March 9.
“Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess,” is published at $6.95 by Xerox Education Division, 600 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022.
I also have been informed the book will be available at some Louisville book-stores soon.

Here's a miniature with a pretty ending. The winner, Dr. Max Euwe of Holland, the former world champion.
