Reclusive American-born chess grandmaster (1943-2008) who scored a Cold War triumph by defeating Russian world champion Boris Spassky in a celebrated 1972 competition. Russian chess magazine The Chess Bulletin, from May 1958, 8.75 x 11.25, 27 pages, signed on the first page in blue ink by Fischer. Detached covers, uniform toning to pages, scattered damp staining, and a few partial separations along fragile binding, otherwise very good condition. Fischer traveled to Moscow with his sister in 1958, decimating newcomers Yevgeny Vasyukov and Alexander Nikitin at the Central Chess Club. This was the same year Fischer became US Champion and was awarded the title of Chess Grandmaster after qualifying at the Interzonal. At 15 years old, Fischer was the youngest, fastest rising star of the chess universe, bringing Russia to it’s knees by dominating 64 squares.
