"Personally, I experienced immense pleasure in reading this book, which masterfully combines previously unpublished episodes and details from the life of the "Genius of Brooklyn" with an equally detailed and highly captivating description of a period in Cuban chess." - Leinier Dominguez, Grandmaster.
"Fischer made his name famous in several other foreign countries. But it is his visits to Cuba, including the 'virtual' visit of 1965, that have always been the most mysterious. This book helps to clear up some of the mysteries." - Andy Soltis, Grandmaster.
