Action Line
These are the best of times for chess players. I can't wait to start experimenting with the Fischer-Spassky strategies. Is anyone going to publish a move-by-move account of all the games in the international match?—E.N., Southfield.
Check, mate. Simon and Schuster plans to strike while chess is hot, has grand master Svetozar Gligoric busily taking notes in Iceland. Action Line ordered you one of the first copies of each game along with explanations of strategies. Book will be in bookstores about two weeks after 24-game match is scheduled to end in August, will cost $5.95 in hard cover, $1.95 in paperback. Bantam Books told Action Line it's considering “an instant book” when match is over, now boasts the only Fischer authorized book. “Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess,” that's gone into its fifth printing in three months. New York Times is also considering compiling its daily coverage of moves and strategy into a book.
