This is the book Bobby Fischer studied in preparing to play his epic match for the World Chess Championship against Boris Spassky. In order to complete the record of these games, the scores of the Fischer-Spassky Match are included in an appendix in the back of this book. The New York Times reported: "FERNDALE, N.Y. March 31 – Nearly always, when he is seen, he is carrying or reading what is jokingly called “the big red book” to distinguish it from “Quotations From Chairman Mao”, which is the little red book. Bound in red velvet, the big book contains the chess games of Boris Spassky, the Russian, who is the world chess champion, and for Bobby Fischer it is every bit as important as the sparring partners boxing champions drag up to this 1,000-acre resort when they are in training." . . . "Training for the 6-foot 2-inch, 29-year old challenger consists of studying the Spassky Red Book, which he takes with him to the Grossinger dining room. He normally eats alone at a table while studying the book or playing with a chess set. "Several times a week, at about 11 PM, he takes the red book and walks into the town to eat at the Triangle Lodge, a bar and grill. There he usually orders Chinese or Italian food and a glass of milk or a glass of beer. The waitresses dislike him because, they say, he takes up two tables while eating."

About the Author:
In the 1950s, Dr. Edward Wildhagen announced an ambitions project entitled “Weltgeschichte des Schachs” which means “World History of Chess”. His plan was to include every game ever played at the World Championship level, with a diagram every five moves so that many players could play over the games in their heads without setting up the board and pieces. There were 16 volumes actually published in this series. This appears to have been one of the last. It appears that Wildhagen did not complete his project, as there was no volume covering the games Alekhine or Smyslov, although all the other World Champions were covered. Here are the volumes that were published: Volume 4 Anderssen Volume 6 Morphy /Paulsen Volume 7 Steinitz Volume 9 Tschigorin Volume 11 Emanuel Lasker Volume 14 Capablanca Volume 18 Euwe Volume 21 Keres Volume 23 Botvinnik Volume 24 Unzicker Volume 25 Tal Volume 26 Petrosian Volume 33 Soviet Chess 1917-1935 Volume 36 Soviet Chess IV 1953-1960 Volume 38 Yugoslav Chess II Volume 41 Interzonal Tournament 1964
