The Story How Several Grandmasters Decided To Play A Trick On Bobby Fischer

In this video I am covering an entertaining story how Soviet Grandmaster Eduard Gufeld together with Serbian Grandmasters Svetozar Gligoric, Aleksandar Matanović and others decided to play a trick on American Grandmaster Robert James Fischer by offering him to solve a chess puzzle! The story I took from Eduard Gufeld’s book “From Chess Genius to Legend” which I strongly recommend you to read! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
