On the front cover Yasser has Fishers name on it, does anyone know if Yasser had some games against Fischer? At first I thought this might be an attention getting but then I remember that Yasser was instrumental with the 92 return and perhaps they did some sparring.
If anyone can add some clarity to this that would be great.

Re: Yasser Seirawan’s book Chess Duels
I received a copy a day or two ago. There are no games against Fischer. It does contain a lengthy chapter concerning Fischer, what he meant to Seirawan, and of course Seirawan's encounters with him. About 35 pages or so. The book itself is over 400 pages long, and contains many games commented in detail, with numerous anecdotes and stories. I've barely scratched the surface so far, but what I've seen says it is a good buy.JAMerolle wrote:On the front cover Yasser has Fishers name on it, does anyone know if Yasser had some games against Fischer?

I would love to know more about their encounters , perhaps I will buy the book. I dont think Yasser has ever talked about it.
