Maybe one of these days I'll read a tournament book; I haven't yet because I'm afraid they'd be way too deep for my patzer status. But if I did, I might be tempted with Karlsbad 1907. I don't see how anyone could read these two reviews and not be interested. (OK, maybe cost would be a factor, but still...)

And it's even in English Algebraic notation - None of this Figurine crap. 🙂

I think this book would be an interesting read.

P.S.: My new Chess Book is in its final editing: Understanding Chess: My
System, My Games. The title is symbolic. I met Fischer in 1954 and knew him for
54 years. I was Bobby's Chess Teacher, Coach and advisor quietly behind the
scenes. We both preferred the privacy. WJL
